1) Sleep out at Harvard yard with Living wage folks tonite,
big rally tomorrow on local and global labor exploitation, 1pm.
2)I heard live reports from Quebec about massive tear-gassing and
civil unrest of various sorts in Quebec today on MIT's own WMBR
radio station (99.3 FM?)...
you can access independent media on-line
http://www.indymedia.org
http://quebec.indymedia.org
Indymedia is the only org I know that doesn't use editorial censorship...
(And they are "lefties...", but anyone can post and reply...)
3) to Ray:

But you fail to comment on whether you agree with the censorship
power of media outlets... whether you agree with the submitted letter's
opinion, should it have been published? That is the question...
