Re: Re: Freedom to Spew

A website.  Now why didn't I think of that one... Even @ Brown! ;-)  We
probably could have stolen the papers here at Berkeley, but (1) our own
Daily Californian quivered and equivocated and never ran the ad, and (2) the
busloads of highschool kids we seem to require from San Francisco to run the
looting for our riots were apparently busy that day.  The saddest thing
about l'affaire Horowitz is that now he's more than just the little known
reactionary laff-fest on Salon, but an Anti-Reparations Force To Be Reckoned
With -- a role quite beyond his limited abilities (fussing and yowling).  I
think I will recommend to Ralph and also to Tom Hayden, lets say, to take
out ads in Fortune, Business Week, etc.!
