	27 years ago, British author George Orwell wrote a famous book, a fictional projection of the world of 1984. Orwell wrote of a totalitarian state that rewrote history, relentlessly punished non-conformity and rigidly controlled the lives of its miserable subjects. That terrible vision of 1984 has haunted us ever since. We have seen our own national government intrude ever further into our schools, workplaces and homes, and we've had as an ever-present model the brutal and oppressive regimes of the Soviet Union and other communist nations.		27 years ago, British author George Orwell wrote a famous book, a fictional projection of the world of 1984.

	Now comes an important new book called ~~People Power~~: The Alternative to 1984. It's written by Morgan J. Dalton, a one-time president of the U.S. Jaycee's, who has devoted his life to encouraging people power at the grassroots. ~~People Power~~ is not an answer to Orwell's dismal prophecy, at least not directly. Indeed Orwell's work is scarcely mentioned in the book. What Dalton sets out to do is to explain to Americans how grassroots self-help efforts can deal effectively with problems, provided however, that those efforts are not stifled or gobbled up by some blundering government program.

	Dalton's examples are many and detailed. He tells how Detroit's positive neighborhood action committee won victories for a black neighborhood. In recreation, housing, education and job training he tells how a private volunteer effort called Placement Services in that same city was able to place hundreds of unemployed black men and women in jobs with no help from the many government agencies supported by the taxpayer for that same purpose.
