>From leaflet "It Won't Wash" by UFW (headed by Cezar Chavez):

  "Every year 300,000 farm workers are poisoned by the food you eat.
And the danger isn't just to field workers picking grapes. The danger
can sit right on your table.  Listen. One third of all pesticides are
known to cause cancer. And some of them won't even wash off under your
kitchen tap. Which means you could unwittingly be poisoning your
family with every table grape you eat. If consumers refuse to buy
table grapes, the United Farm Workers can persuade the California
grape growers to come to the bargaining table. The UFW's demands
include regular testing of grapes and a compete ban of the five
deadliest pesticides[..]"

                    * American Film Festival, 1988

This new release explores the oldest democracy in Latin America, and
the reasons why it has been able to exist as a neutral country,
despite the pressures of its more militant neighbors. Firmly committed
to free elections and social welfare, Costa Rica uses its resources
for hospitals and schools instead of weapons. Produced by Jim
Burroughs and Ceil Sutherland.

DESCRIPTION OF DOCUMENTARY IN PROGRESS INVASION IN PANAMA
   [My only criticism of which is the neglect to mention key
   Nicaragua-related reasons when they enumerate "the real reasons for
   the invasion": Noriega's refusal to participate in a "discovered
   weapons" setup for Nica planned by US; Noriega's having helped Nica
   "get around" the US embargo partially (and with Nica elections coming
   up) and, possibly, giving CIA trouble with canal zone, which had been
   used (quite illegally wrt canal treaty) to coordinate the contra war]

Voices From Panama
"Prominent Panamanian unionists, religious leaders, former government
officials, human rights activists, and residents of El Chorrillo, a
poor neighborhood destroyed by U.S. bombardments, speak out against the
illegal U.S. invasion and occupation of their country"

[From leaflet describing July 28 talks by Unionist Diane Goldberg
(Vice President of AFSCME Local 457 (Detroit Health Dept.)) just back
from a trip to Panama, and a United Labor Action Network
representative, along with the video showing. I missed this event; it
was held at the Friends meeting house // 5615 S. Woodlawn, Chicago, IL
60637(?), and Hosted by Liberation and Marxism Magazine, P.O. box
6510, Chicago, IL 60680 (312)283-0851. [Blunt comment: I'm an atheist,
but that doesn't mean I don't deal with the religious left, or
appreciate it when they make significant contributions.Ditto for Marx]
