29-04-2004 07:26

The young American Marine is exultant. “It’s a sniper’s dream,’ he tells a Los Angeles Times reporter on the outskirts of Fallujah. “You can go anywhere, and there so many ways to fire at the enemy without him knowing where you are.”

Anarchist Ball

29-04-2004 00:39

There is an idea floating around Cambridge air to have an alternative
May Ball during may week...perhaps to be held on one of the commons, as a

If you think you might like to help organise it (music, food, clowns,
artists, activists needed) please email wrench @ tao.ca - there is a
meeting this Tuesday, May 4th, 8 pm, at Clowns Cafe.
