<DIV dir=ltr>Friends: <BR> Were it not for the rain forecast, I would have invited interested persons<BR>to join me in Harvard Square this Friday, May 4, at 12 Noon through 12:24 p.m.,<BR>when the shootings occurred at Kent State University in Ohio.<BR> I may be there anyway but, under the circumstances, in lieu of formally announcing<BR>a vigil of some sort, I prefer to share some useful and very interesting resources<BR>about what happened that year in 1970 during our fight to save our lives and end the<BR>U.S. government's war against Vietnam and it's people and, also, the American people.<BR> If you look at the photos of John Filo, Howard Ruffner, Chuck Ayres and/or Paul Tople</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>you will be amazed.</DIV>
