of media, medics and anti-war protesters taking place at the Republican
convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
We also hear the second installment of Gary Null’s sharp rebuke of those
challenging the science underlying his conclusions regarding Vitamin C, and
HIV/AIDS.
And, environmental activist Cathryn Swan updates us on the the fight against the
privatization of public parks in New York City. Cathryn’s blog,
www.washingtonsquarepark.wordpress.com, is becoming THE place to go to find
up-to-the-minute information on this issue.
and as Hurricane Gustave hits Louisiana, Mitchel Cohen examines reports of shoddily
constructed floodwalls, stuffed with NEWSPAPER.
