Admit it, you're bored with watching the election returns.  So turn to cable 
channel six at 10pm and watch tonight's episode of "AWARE on the Air."

Comments on the Employee Free Choice Act, the late Studs Terkel, partisanism & 
fellowship, the tone of the country, racism & taxes, and three more mingle 
mangles -- and yr. obdt. servt. summarizing local antiwar activities and 
offering some pedantries, e.g.

	A CONCLUDING COMMENT ON THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN
	(from sixteenth-century poet Edward de Vere)

	You do look, my son, in a moved sort,
	As if you were dismayed: be cheerful, sir.
	Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
	As I foretold you, were all spirits and
	Are melted into air, into thin air:
	And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
	The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
	The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
	Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
	And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
	Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
	As dreams are made on, and our little life
	Is rounded with a sleep...
