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

    Here are 200+ URL's about the war from the last few days, including
    much information about the anthrax attacks and responses in the Muslim
    world.  Although I've included many items from the mainstream media,
    I've tried to omit information that you've probably heard a hundred
    times, focusing instead on articles that provide perspective.  Thanks
    to everyone who contributed.
    
    Next issue Friday.  Please keep sending me items that aren't likely
    to appear in the mainstream media.  Thanks a lot.
    
    RRE home page: <http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/rre.html>
    
    Please forward this message to anyone who can use it.
