...brisk, sunny day last November, several of Boston's clergy gathered on the Common anticipating the start of something big. The kickoff of the ecumenical Covenant of Racial Justice, Equity, and Harmony campaign was an event designed to show Boston's true colors, so to speak. The interdenominational service wasn't expected to draw quite as big a crowd as the Pope's stop in Boston the month before, but the weather was better (it had rained on John Paul), and organizers hoped that a sense of urgency mixed with good will would attract at least 10,000 citizens...

And if they defend--as in most cases they will--the rights of companies to sell their products without control or review, ask them about the sale of nuclear weapons to foreign lands. "I guess I'd allow them...
...exactly serve as an enlightened force in society. Upton Sinclair had plenty to write about when he turned his attention on the meat-packing industry; immigrants tended to die in apartment fires. If they want to argue that the present system is somehow different or if they start talking about how consumers can band together and start class action suits, then turn to Clark, P. 57: "I will remove the government from the nuclear fuel cycle, and utilities will be liable to any damage to life and property resulting from the conduct of their business and the disposal of spent...
