>       Last evening, I attended a screening of "Unconstitutional: The 
> War on Our Civil Liberties."  I highly recommend that you see this 
> compelling film about unconstitutional detentions, implementation of 
> the USA PATRIOT Act, police infiltration of peace groups, and so 
> forth.  In fact, I'd like to suggest that ALA arrange a screening of 
> the film during the Midwinter Meeting in Boston.
