I'd be a lot happier if these voices could be heard and if (big 'if') the powers-that-be were not almost exclusively older people (or, to be more exact, old, white, male conservatives). >>It took a while for the anti-Vietnam movement to develop...perhaps this is just the beginning.<< You talk about a 'strong general anti-war sentiment' and that's great to hear. But. When did the anti-Vietnam movement begin, did it make any real difference and how long did it take to make that difference? Are these students representative of the views of the majority of the US public? Is there time to develop from Ann Arbor students into something that would make a difference? I would like to think so. Mike NP Garbarek and the Hillard Ensemble 'Parce mihi domine' (from 'Officium')
