Outrage at Israel's actions trumps ideological disagreement with Hizballah for many Lebanese at this point, and as such, it is likely that support for the party will continue to grow.

With the people of Six Nations fighting to regain ownership of the 950,000 acres of the Haldimand tract originally granted to them by the British crown in 1784, the outcome of the struggle at Douglas Creek Estates has major implications for white settlers, the Canadian state, the Iroquois Confederacy, and indigenous peoples throughout North America. White residents from the nearby town of Caledonia have regularly protested the indigenous blockades, and on numerous occasions have attempted to break past police lines in order to take back the disputed land. But many other whites, supportive of the reclamation, have also been active in and around Six Nations and Caledonia.

The safety of the drug has not been the primary factor in blocking women's access to it. Instead, it has been the powerful lobby of religious zealots that have kept women from determining what they can do with their own bodies. Finally, *some* progress has been made which will allow women over 17 to purchase the pill from a pharmacy without a prescription. Women, 17 or under, will still need a prescription. The US has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the Western world.

The left has taken a range of positions on the Israeli-Lebanese war. Anarchists have opposed the U.S.-Israeli aggression, pointing out the reactionary nature of both sides in the war. However, many have tended to equate the two sides, to treat them as equally bad, and to call for opposing the war on both sides. While there is a good deal of confusion on this issue among anarchists, it is my impression that most have failed to support the oppressed against the oppressor in this war .

The scene from the Raiders of the Lost Ark, where the Ark of the Covenant was wheeled into a massive sea of identical box crates, inside an enormous warehouse, comes vividly to mind. The suppression of information to the public and efforts to control the flow of information of the sciences has reached critical mass. Shades of the once science fictional book, Fahrenheit 451, are dangerously close to reality and the banning and burning of books looms all to surreal, but are more fact than science fiction now.
