14-02-2005 00:21

perpetual war is systematic at home and abroad, via a plethora of methods
In the aftermath of a provocative free film shown yesterday at Portland Community College, significant questions are brought up in a climate of semi-hysteria over traditional African girls' 'rite of passage' initiation--what is termed 'CUT' in the film, and usually known as female circumcision.
