Resistance has kept its numbers and the makeup of its alliance a secret; it has also kept mum about the specific actions that are planned for Friday's big protest.

Philly could be the key: Kerry needs to win by a big margin by turning out 35,000 newly registered voters. He will also try to win the Pittsburgh area. Bush will try to prevail in the Philly suburbs. He's even courting the Amish...
Calm in the Tank. Deep inside the Pentagon, in the National Military Command Center???called "the tank"?first reports of the power failure flashed in from Strategic Air Command headquarters at Omaha and the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) at Colorado Springs. Both reported that eight major military bases in the Northeastern U.S. had suddenly ?and inexplicably?shifted to auxiliary power but that "the trouble was confined to a particular area and not due to bombs or such...
