APOLITICAL INTELLECTUALS

One Day
the apolitical intellectuals
of my country
will be interrogated
by the simplest of our people.
They will be asked what they did
when their nation died out
slowly, like a sweet fire,
small and alone.
No one will ask them
about their dress,
their long lunch breaks,
no one will want to know
about their sterile combats
with "the idea of the nothing"
no one will care about
their higher financial learning.
They won't be questioned
on Greek mythology,
or regarding their self-disgust
when someone within them
begins to die
the coward's death.
They'll be asked nothing
about their absurd justifications,
born in the shadow
of the total lie.
On that day
the simple men will come.
Those who had no place
in the books and poems
of the apolitical intellectuals,
but daily delivered
their bread and milk,
those who mended their clothes,
those who drove their cars,
who cared for their dogs and gardens
and worked for them, and they'll ask:
"What did you do when the poor
suffered, when tenderness
and life burned out in them?"
Apolitical intellectuals of my sweet country,
you will not be able to answer.
A vulture of silence
will eat your gut.
Your own misery will pick at your soul.
And you will be mute in your shame.

--Castillo

[From EcoNet ecotopia.news Conference]

Still All Wet 
 
by Tim McKay 
 
"No net loss" to the contrary, the Bush administration is
apparently moving ahead with plans to weaken wetland protection.
 
The Agriculture Department, the EPA and the Army Corps of
Engineers have released new rules intended to "clarify and
improve the wetlands regulatory program" by closing loopholes.
 
One makes clear that using pilings over wetlands to build office
buildings and apartments is the same as filling them in.
 
Another would redefine "discharge of dredged material" and a
third -- and the one of most concern -- would state that "prior
converted croplands" are not wetlands.
 
The EPA says that this last could affect as many as 60 million
acres.
 
An Agriculture Department proposal calls for exempting farmers
from a provision of a 1990 farm bill that would withhold payment
of subsidies to farmers who fill wetlands in bad faith.
 
This proposal also would treat lands that had been farmed six
out of ten years "prior converted croplands".
 
For more than a year the White House has been trying to rewrite
the wetland protection rules, a move that has been highly
controversial given Bush's earlier statements that there would
be no net loss of wetland areas.
 
The California Assembly last month called upon the President and
the Congress to continue using a more detailed definition of
wetlands, as opposed to the weaker measure supported by Bush.

             GREENPEACE HALTS CONTROVERSIAL AUSTRALIAN
                        TOXIC WASTE SHIP

ANTWERP, Belgium, September 3, 1992 (GP) -- Greenpeace activists
from  the Greenpeace vessel MV Beluga chained themselves to the
lifting gear and cargo of the ship MSC MARIA LAURA today,
immobilising a controversial load of 18 tonnes of toxic
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) and prevented the ship from
leaving port.

"We intend to hold the MSC MARIA LAURA until the Australian
government gives us assurances that this shipment will be
returned safely to Australia," said Jim Puckett of Greenpeace
International. Greenpeace is demanding that EC Ministers take
measures to bring a halt to all import and export of hazardous
waste from the community.

The toxic load is the first of a total of 1000 tonnes of PCB's
and chlorinated pesticide waste the state of Western Australia
intends to export for disposal at an incinerator in St. Vulbas
near Lyon in France. The same Australian PCB's were rejected by
the UK government three months ago after protests by local groups
(in South Wales, Hampshire and Merseyside). On a stop-over in
South Africa on its way to Europe, the MSC MARIA LAURA faced
organised protests from trade unions and environmentalists.   The
toxic load of PCB's was originally expected at the French port of
Le Havre. Following an alert from Greenpeace, French transport
workers union CFDT, CGT and FO wrote last week to French
Environment Minister Segolene Royale demanding the waste be
returned and reminded her of her promise that France would not be
the "dustbin of the industrialised countries". The French
Environment Ministry is already under pressure following the
discovery three weeks ago of German hospital waste dumped in
French quarries. Segolene Royale was forced to close temporarily
the French German border to all waste imports.

PCB's as an organochlorine contaminant are the subject of the
upcoming Paris Commission Ministerial Conference for the
protection of the North East Atlantic on 22 September in Paris.
PCB's are known carcinogens and they are especially toxic and
persistent in the marine food chain. Incineration of PCB's as is
intended at St Vulbas can result in the formation of dioxin and
furan pollutants that are even more toxic than the PCB's.

"Not only should France call for the return of the PCB's but also
ensure that new EC legislation affirms the right to all member
states to ban all waste imports", said Katia Kanas, toxics
campaigner of Greenpeace France.

Organization: PACH
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1992 08:30:05 GMT

The mailing list affiliated with misc.activism.progressive (MAP) is
run by a "listserver" which also operated an automated archiver
service. To use this service, one sends "commands" -- simple email
messages in certain formats, to the listserver's address, which is
LISTSERV@UMCVMB.BITNET, or LISTSERV@UMCVMB.MISSOURI.EDU

The most basic service available is the GET command; when the
listserver receives a GET command from you, it automatically emails
you the file(s) you requested.

To use the GET command,

    ======================================
    To get a file named FILE NAME from the
    archiver (files are two words  separa-
    ted by a space), send the 1-line message

    GET FILE NAME ACTIV-L

    to: LISTSERV@UMCVMB.BITNET
    [or: LISTSERV@UMCVMB.MISSOURI.EDU]
    ======================================

    Use GET with the file ACTIV-L ARCHIVE for a listing of
    files available with the GET command.

Thus, for example, to have the listserver email you the index file
ACTIV-L ARCHIVE which lists the files available with the GET command,
just send the 1-line message GET ACTIV-L ARCHIVE ACTIV-L to the
listserver address given above. Remember: don't email these commands
to Rich, Harel, or other human-folks; the listserver itself "understands"
them. If you are thoroughly confused (try emailing "help" to
LISTSERV@UMCVMB.BITNET first) you can of course consult with Rich
[mathrich@umcvmb.bitnet].

 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

If you feel more adventurous, listserv also offers a full database
capability for searching through the Megs of all past postings to
activ-l; use the GET command with the file AMLDBASE DOC for a tutorial
on how to use this feature.

Enclosed below is the table of contents from the most recent (when
this file was written) ACTIV-L ARCHIVE file to give you an idea of the
variety of files available.

CUBA SOLIDARITY BRIEFS

Solidarity with Cuba in India ...

Under pressure from the U.S. government, India's capitalist
government has stopped shipping rice to socialist Cuba. But
organizations of India's workers and oppressed have responded
with a massive show of solidarity. In February, the 14th Congress
of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) launched a campaign to
collect 10,000 tons of grain and medicine for Cuba.

People's Democracy, the CPI(M) newspaper, says the response to
this call has been "overwhelming." Collections have been carried
out by labor unions and organizations of women, peasants,
students and artists in states throughout the country. The
largest collections were in West Bengal, where the main peasant
organization announced plans to collect donations from 1.6
million rural families. The West Bengal Railway Hawkers Union and
other labor organizations have joined the drive. A Cuban ship
will arrive in Calcutta at the end of September to pick up the
supplies.

A National Committee for Solidarity with Cuba has been set up,
comprising well-known artists, intellectuals and film stars. And
the proceeds from an upcoming soccer series between Vietnam and
West Bengal will be donated to Cuba.

... and Turkey

Thousands of workers and progressives in Turkey have signed
petitions expressing solidarity with socialist Cuba and
protesting the U.S. blockade. The petition campaign was organized
by Iktidar (Power), a working class newspaper. The petitions will
be presented to the United Nations by representatives of the
International Peace for Cuba Appeal.

Greeting y'all.  I need help.

My officemate, Rosemary (m22698), is in search of her old Calculus book. 
She has looked around the DC area with no luck.  My ribbing her about her
search has forced me to put up or shut up.  She bet me a freshly baked cake
(or pie) that I couldn't find a copy while I bet her lunch out tat I could.
 Now I'll probably take her out to lunch anyway but I really want a freshly
baked blueberry pie and the season is almost over.

Name of book:		Calculus: With Analytic Geometry
															by Roland LARSON and Robert HOSTETLER
															copyright 1980  by D.C. Heath and Company

It comes with a 3 volume Solution Guide which is also desired.  Solution
Guide has one additional auther  David HEYD.

Apparently there may also be a Student Solutions Manual by HEYD.

Rosemary is willing to buy these books.

Thanks in advance.

This doesn't belong in misc.books.technical.  I've made my opinion known  
to Dennis P. Harris, so I won't repeat it in full here.

I totally agree.  When will people see that controversy just stirs up

Hi Folks,

Sorry if this is in the wrong newsgroup but I couldn't find a
more appropriate one.

I'm looking for the following two journals, the "Skeptical
Inquirer" and "Microwave News".  I have heard a little about
these and that they are non-mainstream...

Anybody heard of them?  Do you know how to get a copy?  I'd
love to hear from you.  (Prefer email.)
