| The events of September 11, 2001,
have shaken the stability and
I coherence of the United States in
ways that surpass the tumultuous
period of the Vietnam War and the
social movements of that era. 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.

All remains the same' in terror war
i woKe up tnis morning / me sun
was on the rise / all the school and
stores were dosed as bombs fell from
the sky / on a lone sidewalk stood a
Gypsy in disguise / holding out her cal
loused hands and waiting for spare
change / but through the season's slow
procession all remains the same / all re
mains the same / all remains the same."
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

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

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
