This one-day symposium features established and new scholars in the fields of ethnic, gender and postcolonial studies who will examine the post-September 11 movement as a period of new racisms, gendered militarism, repressive surveillance and the threat of American fascism.

I can recall my heart sinking last No vember as a guest on Dan Carlin’* "CrossTalk" when he said, in reference to the U.S.-led war on Iraq, "We should have bombed the heck out of them." The number of civilian deaths since ll.S. military intervention in the coun try is somewhere between 9,061 and 10,918, according to http://www.iraq bodycount.org. It goes without saying this number will continue to rise. Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, in one stirring string of words, said, "I think that I can be of help to this administration in its efforts to find weapons of mass destruction be cause Mr. President, they're here at home Poverty is a weapon of mass de struction, and homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction. And joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction. And Aaron Shakra Out of range poor health care is a weapon of destruc tion. And when a government lies to its people, that is a weapon of mass de struction." The blood of the nameless will spill and spill and spill for a war started over a perverse fallacy. "A young boy walks through the town / his eyes are blue as rain / his pockets kill of tears and dreams / he's tangled up in pain / his body's died a thousand times / he's searching for his name / but through the season's slow procession / all re mains the same / all remains the same" "On no less than seven different oc casions in today's long-awaited testimo ny before the 9-11 Commission, Na tional Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice insisted that there was no specific advance knowledge as to the time, place ana metnoa or me attacks, writes Michael C. Ruppert, editor of From The Wilderness Publications. "Ladies and gentlemen, what you wit nessed today, on every major network, was perjury — a felony." There are numerous pieces of evi dence that show that Rice is, without a doubt, a straight-out liar. For example, what about the well documented insider stock trading throughout seven countries only days prior to the attacks? This might be ex cusable, but considering the trading involved only corporations — includ ing United Airlines, American Air lines, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and Citigroup — that were severely fi nancially affected by the stocks, the traders may not have known the specifics, but they knew something. 'This could very well be insider trad ing at the worst, most horrific, most evil use you've ever seen in your entire life, business journalist Dylan Ratigan said on Good Morning Texas on Sept. 20. 'This would be one of the most ex traordinary coincidences in the history of mankind if it was a coincidence." The same day, ABC News reported, Jonathan Winer, an AJiU News con sultant said, 'It's absolutely unprece dented to see cases of insider trading covering the entire world from Japan, to the United States, to North America, to Europe." Ruppert concludes, "In order to ar gue that massive and well-document ed insider trading... did not serve as a warning to intelligence agencies, it is necessary to argue that no one was aware of the trades as they were occur ring, and that intelligence and law en forcement agencies of most industri alized nations do not monitor stock trades in real time to warn of impend ing attacks. Both assertions are false." "A Buddhist monk in black puts his hands upon his beads / a soldier holds his gun and goes to war on for eign seas / as cities are erected on the graves of fallen trees / a battle's waged on the Bible page / the/re fighting in our name / but through the seasons slow procession / all remains the same / all remains the same."

Picnics for two may inspire summer lovin' This time of year, I feel like I'm strolling the hallways of a high school. The arrival of the spring sun cultivates coupling. They walk hand in-hand, high on love (or at the very least, lust) and the thought of another academic year coming to a close. What better time to plan a romantic date, featuring life's greatest non-sex ual pleasure — food! Maybe you tried the whole candle light dinner thing on Valentine's Day, only to encounter technical prob lems (collapsed chocolate souffle, anyone?) But warm-weather meals carry less pressure. They're refreshing, simple and relaxed. And because you can dine outside in the evening's nat ural lighting, there's no need to wor ry about burning the tablecloth with the flame of a candle. If you have a patio and summer dining set, take the opportunity to create an impressive table setting. Try vibrantly colored paper plates, place mats, cups and napkins; and a spring-fresh bouquet. No outdoor eating space? Round up some Tup perware, a large quilt, a picnic basket and some paper plates and Natalie Chilingerian Nat goes to town silverware for a feast in the park or your own backyard. Find a secluded, shady spot and enjoy the company of the cool breeze and chirping birds. Now for the food, which you should start preparing at least three hours ahead of time (to allow for chilling/freezing/baking time). A great hot season starter is chilled soup, which is both cooling and comforting. Try a cucumber soup (see sidebar). This soup can be stored in a thermos if you're on a pic nic. For the main course, nothing says beat-the-heat dining like barbe cue chicken. If you own a barbecue, the more power to you, but an oven can also do the trick. For baked bar becue chicken, bake chicken pieces, sprinkled with a garlic seasoning, in a shallow pan for one hour at 350 degrees. Then pour bottled barbecue sauce over the meat and bake for an other 30 minutes. Cold salads make great side dish es. For a tasty pasta salad, cook pas ta, such as bow tie, macaroni or spi ral, then rinse with cold water and toss with an oil and vinegar or Ital ian dressing. Then slice in black olives, celery and cherry tomatoes and finish with a grating of moz zarella or parmesan cheese. Also, serve a salad that celebrates the col ors of the season: a fruity spinach salad. Starting with baby spinach leaves, add chopped apples, man darin orange slices, dried cranberries and chopped walnuts; top with a raspberry vinaigrette. If you are tot ing this salad along in Tupperware, bring the dressing separately and add at the last minute so the salad stays fresh and crispy. For dessert, make a dish that in cludes rainbow sherbet or berries. For an airy but decadent treat, try a frozen sherbet cake: Slice an angel food cake horizontally into three Cold Cucumber Soup recipe * 1 3/4 cups chopped, peeled and seeded cucumber * 1 condensed cream of potato soup (in 10 3/4 ounce can) * 11/2 cups chicken broth * 1/2 cup sour cream * 2 tablespoons chopped scallions Mix all ingredients except: in a large bowl. If you want a Smoother son), -, ingredients in a blender until smooth. Cover and refiprate for two hours. Serve in bowls and sprite with' ‘ layers, spread softened sherbet on top of the first and second layers, ice the whole cake with whipped topping and freeze for one hour. Looking for something on the lighter side? Make a fruit salad of strawberries, raspber ries and blueberries and drizzle with 1/4 cup orange juice to sweeten and Turn to LOVIN', page 13
