[Peace] Teach-In [sic] on Syria

[C. G. Estabrook]

["Teach-ins" were invented in the mid-1960s by the anti-war movement in the U.S., to counter support for the Kennedy-Johnson attack on Vietnam - and the generally unquestioning support offered to that great crime by American academe. There is some irony in using that title today for a session in which none of the speakers apparently thinks that Obama & co. are war criminals, as they obviously are.]
