Disagreements within the U.S. antiwar movement aren't just over ideology but method. Swarming protests--like the San Francisco shutdown and the 200,000-person march that closed streets in New York City on Saturday--continued over the weekend, sometimes to the clucking disapproval of more focused dissenters. "If I actually had 10,000 people who would listen to what I said," Clark notes, "I would certainly do things differently than the way they turned out in San Francisco. The job of a civil resister is to provoke a response. Vomiting on the streets--it's very creative...
...estimated 200 active commandos of ETA (short for Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, Basque Homeland and Liberty), who vow to end their 35-year terror spree only when the region is independent.

But as the 48-hour shutdown ended, there was no collective sigh of relief either. With the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) planning an eight-day walkout starting Nov. 22 - and two more of equal duration in the run-up to Christmas - there will be plenty of opportunities for those scenarios to play out. Ironically, the absence...
...will still be affected two months from now. It could have been worse, analysts say. A disruption lasting 30 days would trigger a regional recession. A remaining concern: Bush's injunction bought an 80-day respite. But if the labor dispute is still not resolved in that time, another shutdown could strike early next year?threatening to reinfect Asia with a nasty case of the economic...
