...first other Provisional storm of last year was the New American Movement's 150-person-strong protest against a recruiter from the Honeywell Corporation, which makes most of General Thieu's anti-personnel bombs. The picketers marched in the rain chanting things like, "Want a job, step inside, great career in genocide," and they seemed only slightly disappointed that the recruiter had left before they arrived. As Provisionals, they were more interested in national trends anyway. It was the largest Harvard anti-war demonstration since the Mass Hall occupation...
...chanted in a late February rain to protest the presence of a recruiter from the Honeywell Corporation at the Office of Career Plans and Off-Campus Learning (OGCP). Organizing the protest in the two days before the recruiter's appearance, NAM publicized Honeywell's role in the manufacture of "anti-personnel" weapons for the Defense Department. After marching and chanting in front of the OGCP for about half an hour, the protestors held a mock trial in which a student dressed in tuxedo and tophat and calling himself "Mr. Honeywell" was found guilty of "crimes against humanity." When the real...
RUBIN'S BUON YUN has had to make some adaptations to modern Vietnam: for instance, it's encircled by rows of fire-hardened bamboo spikes and anti-personnel mines set between two fences of nine-foot wooden stakes. But inside, people live much as they always have--the way the French travelers and the American Army's books said they lived, and the way Rubin knew them as a sergeant in the U.S. Special Forces from 1962 to 1964. There are about 30 longhouses in the village, with wooden piles underneath them to keep out floods and give the pigs...
...claim that the Rockeye II is solely "anti-tank" is an old one. It is an out-and-out lie. According to a 1966 Congressional hearing, "the Rockeye II is a cluster bomb which contains anti-tank and anti-personnel bomblets" (emphasis added). It has been used by the thousands against the most populous areas of North Vietnam (American Report, 12/4/74). In the summer of 1972 the New York Times reported that the Rockeye II had been dropped on villages and hospitals. Would Honeywell have us believe that tanks stream through the streets of residential sections of Hanoi and Haiphong...
...total of $10 million for Honeywell in fiscal 1974. DMS is a semi-official organization serving this country's weapons business, and is considered a reliable source by those in the industry. While it is obviously in Honeywell's interest to create the impression that it no longer makes anti-personnel weapons, I can think of no reason why DMS should lie about Honeywell's contracts. Honeywell does not exactly have a record of being truthful and open about the weapons it produces...
