The Thought Police At The Independent Bookstore Near YouAmerican Enterprise Institute scholar Joshua Muravchik says the independent Washington bookstore "Politics & Prose" agreed to sponsor a signing for his book, "Heaven on Earth: The Rise and Fall of Socialism" but pulled the invitation once they found out the book was critical of the left-wing ideology. Cleve Corner of the bookstore initially expressed enthusiasm for ths signing but then did an about-face, informing Encounter Books publicity director Amy Packard that "we will not be able to host the event" because "there is a strong ISO contingent that frequents the store and they have had several discussions and readings in connection with us." Turns out ISO stands for International Socialist Organization which, like all Trotskyite sects, seeks the overthrow of the government and replacement with ... well, the leaders of the ISO, presumably.
