Introduction
In this issue, we see the power of human transformation--the urge to create something new of ourselves, the courage to interrupt the flow of routine for something we believe in, whether through a hunger strike in a Korean factory or by standing still amidst the chaos of occupied Czechoslovakia. We see the power of hidden agendas at work in Italian and Argentine letters--and how these currents can sometimes be as obvious as the electricity that surrounds us in our everyday lives.
