...court decision that would allow antiwar activists equal access to career days in Atlanta high schools. In a landmark case five years ago, an interfaith peace and justice group called Clergy and Laity Concerned won the right to promote its cause among Chicago high school students. Yet in San Diego, the site of a large naval installation, the Project on Youth and Non-Military Opportunities has found little resistance to its counselors, who regularly present slide shows and distribute pamphlets in local schools...
...Jerry Brown, to some, symbolized visionary political leadership. To others, unmoved by his fascination with Buckminster Fuller's visions of the future and the small-is-beautiful theories of E.F.

...Urqidi left her car, the VW took off. With lights flashing and sirens screaming, Urqidi and two other patrol cars set off in less than hot pursuit of the escaping vehicle. And followed. And followed. And followed. Through the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties. For four hours and more than 150 miles, tag teams of highway patrol cars and a Los Angeles police helicopter tailed the VW, which never exceeded the 55-m.p.h. speed limit, until driver Brett Barish finally ran out of gas near San Diego...
