Under terms of the agreement, the Kurds will govern their own territory and send delegates to the next Parliament. The Kurdish language will enjoy official status along with Arabic. "This is no temporary armistice," said Bakr. "This is a complete political and constitutional settlement of all existing problems, and it will prevail forever." In Iraq, forever may not mean all it appears to. A 1966 truce between the government and Kurds proved short-lived when Baghdad reneged on its promises...
...difficulty with trying to govern by games theory is that some people don't want to play. What is worse, some people don't even know they are in a game. It is the job of the mathematicians, systems analysts and directors at a government-sponsored foundation involved in Project Nomad to get everybody into their game-or at least reduce to a minimum the chances of irrational, unpredictable moves by nonplayers, mostly the poor and angry urban masses...

The emergence of gay liberation communes, and our own paper is a good start. The talk about a?gay liberation coffee shop/dance hall should be acted upon. Rural retreats, political action offices, food cooperatives, a free school, unalienating bars and after hours places-they must be developed if we are to have even the shadow of a free territory...
