Shortly before midnight, the Karmapa apparently jumped from his
|
|||
|
|
bedroom window and was whisked away in a car, along with his
|
|||
|
|
24-year-old sister, who is a Buddhist nun, two aides and three
|
|||
|
|
monks. The group of seven drove non-stop for some 36 hours,
|
|||
|
|
following almost the same escape route that the Dalai Lama
|
|||
|
|
had traversed on horseback 40 years before. The car stopped
|
|||
|
|
ahead of security checkpoints, where the Karmapa alighted,
|
|||
|
|
circled around the barriers and rejoined his comrades on the
|
|||
|
|
other side. When the road came to an end near unmotorable
|
|||
|
|
mountains bordering Nepal, the party began a trek.

Hi there,
|
|||
|
|
I'm prime anarchist and I'm your toast for tonite,
|
|||
|
|
the half moon frenzy upon us. I got a spam report
|
|||
|
|
from Sisyphus, our resident Linux guru deep within
|
|||
|
|
serverland. I'll quote him here...
|
|||
|
|
"I'd just delete anything that looks in the least
|
|||
|
|
bit wierd. (I know that'll cut down on your Letters
|
|||
|
|
to the Editor for ATI, but it's better than getting
|
|||
|
|
Windo$e hang-ups.)" We took his advice to heart which
|
|||
|
|
might have saved us some serious hackerhassles, as the
|
|||
|
|
last two weeks have seen lots of weirdness. So if any
|
|||
|
|
of you sent in a letter to the editor or a submission
|
|||
|
|
that doesn't make it into this zine or the very next
|
|||
|
|
one, please resubmit. I'm not thumbing my clothes at
|
|||
|
|
you, I just chose to ignore some. Better safe than
|
|||
|
|
story sometimes, eh?
|
|||

Execellent coverage of the Stupor Bowl in last issue P. A.
|
|||
|
|
You did however miss three important things. The guy that
|
|||
|
|
tackled head first (haven't we learned by now that that's a no-no)
|
|||
|
|
showed us all what football is all about, again. The second thing
|
|||
|
|
was the only positive moment of the night (I didn't see the apple
|
|||
|
|
commercial). Yes I'm talking about the Oxygen comercial. Just
|
|||
|
|
something very cool about baby girls throwing away their pink caps
|
|||
|
|
in defiance. The third is by no means as important as the other
|
|||
|
|
two, but it need to be said: "Tony Braxton, I'm sorry but
|
|||
|
|
African-Amerikan womyn should not where tight white dresses
|
|||
|
|
when they are cold at Nationally Televised Events like the
|
|||
|
|
Stupor Bowl.

Poet Ruled 'Only a Pest' In Opening WTO Protest Trial
|
|||
|
|
Reprinted from LISE and LISA's SEATTLE POST-
|
|||
|
|
INTELLIGENCER stories.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Eric Larson might have been loud and obnoxious during World
|
|||
|
|
Trade Organization protests, but a jury yesterday decided he
|
|||
|
|
did not break the law.
|
|||
|
|
Seattle's first trial stemming from the WTO mayhem focused
|
|||
|
|
on the alleged assault of two police officers by Larson, 34,
|
|||
|
|
a coffeehouse manager and poet.
|
|||
|
|
[prime anarchist note: I don't know yet whether he's my
|
|||
|
|
old friend Eric who did one year in Leavenworth yet.
|
|||
|
|
I'll letcha know the minute I verify]
|
|||
|
|
This was the first of about 40 WTO-related cases slated for
|
|||
|
|
trial in Municipal Court in the next few weeks. They are all
|
|||
|
|
that remain of about 500 misdemeanor cases, most of which have
|
|||
|
|
been dismissed due to lack of evidence.
|
|||
|
|
In her closing argument, Assistant City Attorney Cindi Williams
|
|||
|
|
said Larson screamed at the officers, hoping to "spark the powder
|
|||
|
|
keg" and set off a riot.
|
|||
|
|
[maybe Eric's our man who ran into a crowded firehouse last
|
|||
|
|
April-1 yelling "Theatre" at the top of his lungs]
|
|||
|
|
Defense attorney John McGoodwin said Larson may have been rude
|
|||
|
|
to police but he had no intention of becoming violent and did
|
|||
|
|
not assault anyone during the protest.
|
|||
|
|
"All you can convict this man of is being a pest," McGoodwin
|
|||
|
|
said. He argued that the officers were too tired, hungry and thirsty
|
|||
|
|
to be sure of what happened, adding:
|
|||
|
|
"There was just too much going on."
|
|||
|
|
Larson was accused of pushing a King County sheriff's deputy
|
|||
|
|
who was part of a police line. After being pepper-sprayed, he
|
|||
|
|
also allegedly struck another officer who was trying to arrest
|
|||
|
|
him.
|
|||
|
|
Larson denied pushing or hitting anyone. Observers captured
|
|||
|
|
part of the incident on tape -- audio and video -- but that
|
|||
|
|
evidence proved to be inconclusive. Witnesses testified during
|
|||
|
|
the trial that Larson was pepper-sprayed several times at close
|
|||
|
|
range, grabbed by about five deputies and wrestled to the ground.
|
|||
|
|
Larson, who lives and works at The Pearl coffeehouse in the
|
|||
|
|
University District, claims he went downtown that day to take
|
|||
|
|
pictures of the WTO protests for the Poem Record, a literary
|
|||
|
|
magazine he edits.
|
|||
|
|
The trouble started when Larson, a former Army medic, tried
|
|||
|
|
to get through a police line to buy more film. Both sides agreed
|
|||
|
|
that Larson was pepper-sprayed at least twice...

WELL, WHICH IS IT?
|
|||
|
|
The last few months I've heard that UNAM is the
|
|||
|
|
biggest college in the world, the biggest in the
|
|||
|
|
contintent, the biggest in Mexico and the biggest
|
|||
|
|
in the hemisphere.
|
|||
|
|
Never mind which hemisphere (as I've heard west
|
|||
|
|
and I've heard south) I was wondering where truth
|
|||
|
|
really lies, and after 45 minutes research (way
|
|||
|
|
more than I wanted to put, by the way) I still don't
|
|||
|
|
know. "Damned big," and "almost none bigger" is
|
|||
|
|
about the closest I'm going to come to knowing real
|
|||
|
|
truth there, without going myself and walking around
|
|||
|
|
every campus on the planet. Believe me, I've got
|
|||
|
|
enough trouble getting the whole way around UConn,
|
|||
|
|
and University of Wisconsin.
|
|||
|
|
At any rate, here's some of the results of my
|
|||
|
|
digging. You'll see that UNAM is pretty big on
|
|||
|
|
understatement when it comes to self promotion and
|
|||
|
|
some of the other places of "higher education" veer
|
|||
|
|
far away from the truth to beat their chests.
|
|||
|
|
[ed note: I chucked out any claims with too many
|
|||
|
|
qualifiers like "largest college with a library open
|
|||
|
|
at 5am, serves cappucino and charges no late fees,"
|

or "largest college on the western half of the southern

West Texas: Larry Tannahill is refusing to allow his
|
|||
|
|
12-year-old A-student son, Brady, to be tested for
|
|||
|
|
drugs by the Lockney Independent School District.
|
|||
|
|
Mandatory testing for the district's teachers and 400
|
|||
|
|
students in grades 6 through 12 was completed Thursday.
|
|||
|
|
Brady, the only holdout, now faces the same punishment
|
|||
|
|
as someone who tested positive: a 21-day suspension from
|
|||
|
|
extracurricular activities, at least three days' in-school
|
|||
|
|
suspension and three sessions of substance abuse counseling.
|
|||
|
|
The sixth-grader also could be required to take a drug test
|
|||
|
|
every month for a year. Each time he refuses, he will be
|
|||
|
|
considered a repeat offender, and the punishment gets more
|
|||
|
|
strict.
|
|||
|
|
Tannahill plans to appeal his son's suspension.

South Dade: High School student journalist Leandro Leon was
|
|||
|
|
working on a story about random weapons searches of students
|
|||
|
|
Wednesday morning when school officials confiscated the film
|
|||
|
|
from his camera.
|
|||
|
|
"This experience has taught me that some things need to be
|
|||
|
|
exposed to the public and things need to be shown how they are
|
|||
|
|
and not necessarily just reflected in a good light," 17-year-old
|
|||
|
|
Leandro said.
|
|||
|
|
During first period, Leandro took one photograph of four guards
|
|||
|
|
from Vanguard Security getting ready to search students in Reisa
|
|||
|
|
Plylyer's sophomore English class.
|
|||
|
|
When the guards realized Leandro had a camera, they cleared
|
|||
|
|
classroom 512 and locked him inside.

Novartis, Pfizer, Combover, & Gamble LLC to create food containing
|
|||
|
|
ingredients said to cause cures. The new company EatOurFood, will
|
|||
|
|
develop and market its products in Mexico and distribute to Canada
|
|||
|
|
and the US. Gregor Panza, president of EOF (short for EatOurFood)
|
|||
|
|
would not divulge much, "something tells me we're into something
|
|||
|
|
good," and "clearly this is an example worth everyone knowing and
|
|||
|
|
trying."
|
|||
|
|
Such products' examples include cholesterol-reducing candy,
|
|||
|
|
healthful hamburgers, cereal with flesh-eating-bacteria-killing
|
|||
|
|
soda to offset the laden bananas that might get sprinkled atop by
|
|||
|
|
children of unbeknownst parents and 20% embalming fluid in the
|
|||
|
|
morning cranberry juice so teens and adults alike will be "way
|
|||
|
|
ahead of the eight-ball."
|
|||
|
|
"Good to the last drop," said Panza, a pediatrician turned poet.
|
|||
|
|
"You'll love our goodcookies, Mr. and Mrs. 'Merica."

"That was only the beginning of my problems with
|
|||
|
|
multinational record companies. By 1984 I had sued the
|
|||
|
|
two industry giants, CBS and Warners, and had learned
|
|||
|
|
a lot more about 'creative accounting practices.'"

"...and, it they don't get it, have a tendency to
|
|||
|
|
initiate counterrevolution."

|
|||
|
|
Zappa Book" is a very great book, but another one is the fact
|
|||
|
|
that I got to page 331 before finding my first typo]
