  • Next message: Phil Agre: "[RRE]attack"

    Here are some URL's on topics other than the attacks on the east
    coast.  Most of them are items that I had intended to send out on
    Tuesday morning, and that I mentioned I was putting on the Web site.
    I have deleted a few items that are out of date.  At the beginning
    of the list, however, I have included a separate section of URL's
    that have come in since Tuesday morning.  Thanks to everyone who
    contributed.
