It was reported here the other day that Pacifica was requiring Amy Goodman to clear the next day's Democracy Now lineup with management. That regime lasted one day, and is, as they say, now inoperative. Doug

38831 Larry Pratt -- rank: 1000
James Ridgeway just told me that Larry Pratt of the Gun Owners of America, whom Alex Cockburn quoted on the virtues of arming teachers, discovered the beauties of "militias" after visiting Honduras and the Philippines. Of course, the informal bodies of armed men in those countries were death squads. Life is getting very strange. Doug

38835 Greenspan on bubbles -- rank: 1000
Greenspan just told the House Banking Committee, and these are pretty close to his exact words, that we can only know if the U.S. stock market is a bubble after the fact. To say it is now would be to presume to know more than the millions of very sophisticated investors who trade it every day. Doug
