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

    Here are 200+ more URL's about the war, including extensive coverage
    of the anthrax attacks, security controversies, and limits on freedom
    of information and the press.  Thanks to everyone who contributed.
    
    Even though this collection of URL's may seem overwhelming, I have
    not tried to cover the story encyclopedically.  Too much is happening
    for that to be possible.  Right now, the newspaper that is covering
    the story best is the Washington Post, and I've only included a small
    portion of their coverage here.
    
    Next edition on Monday evening.  Please send me items that are not
    likely to appear in the mainstream media.
    
    RRE home page: <http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/rre.html>
    
    Please forward this message to anyone who can use it.
