'The Red Squad' by E.M. Broner

Does history repeat itself, or would it be better described as a tape loop on which we play our solo? In "The Red Squad" by E.M. Broner, Anka Pappas receives an envelope of surveillance records of her antiwar activities during the Vietnam War. Suddenly we rewind to the late 1960s, but with the present day spliced in.
