[Physltest] [Phys-L] Re: Are the Forces of Darkness on the March?

I'm surprised no one has commented on the death of  Muhammad Abd
al-Rahman ar-Rauf al-Qudwah al-Husayni, aka, Abu Ammar, and, especially,
the re arrest of Mordecai Vanunu.

plus tens of millions of people who are not very well off and
not very well informed ... and who can be persuaded to vote
against their economic interests."  [JD]

Some old history:

On modern education: "The university is a vast public utility which
turns out future workers in today's vineyard, the military-industrial
complex."

"In September, they boarded a ship, bound for Italy and England. They
planned to stay abroad as long as a year. Savio had won a scholarship to
study physics at Oxford University. Suzanne was pregnant with their
first child. A Chronicle story reported, "Friends say Savio is uncertain
about what he wants to do and feels a period abroad may help him make a
decision."

FBI headquarters alerted bureau offices in London, Paris and Rome that
the Savios were afoot."
