************************************************************* Report Back From Iraq with Fernando Suarez del Solar, Whose Son Jesus was Killed During the Invasion of Iraq


As President Bush was completing his two-hour visit to Iraq, a delegation of 10 military family members and veterans were about to embark on a one-week trip to Iraq to express their concerns about the occupation and see first-hand the reality being faced by Iraqis and U.S. troops. Just days after their return, Fernando Suarez del Solar reports back about what really going on in Iraq and the presents his

ideas for alternatives to the occupation.

Workers of the Grand Central Oyster Bar On Strike!

The staff of the Oyster Bar has provided quality service to those who have come into the restaurant. Now the owners are asking the workers to risk their union pension and health insurance. The restaurant is doing a good business. The workers shouldn’t have to bear a burden while the owners continue their plans for expansion of the restaurant elsewhere.

That’s why the Oyster Bar workers are on strike.
