[Peace-discuss] How to do the news...

[C. G. Estabrook]

Gentles--

I read with interest the news summary put on by the group in my absence
last Sunday and suggest we institutionalize the practice (instead of, ah,
institutionalizing me...).  I.e., in the time set aside for news at the
next AWARE meeting (and subsequent meetings) everyone will be encouraged
to contribute notice of a significant event of the week past.

Regards, Carl

there is no local anti-war activism.  Several folks called or wrote the
paper.

- Kissinger has resigned from his new post investigating Sept. 11
intelligence failures.

- Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott has exposed himself again as a racist.

- ACLU announced its membership growing, including a new constituency:
