    VANCOUVER — Teachers walked the picket lines, the NDP filibustered in Victoria and the school employers went to court yesterday in the first day of an illegal strike by the province’s 42,000 teachers.
    The provincial Liberals, after waiting out an all-night delay tactic by the NDP, passed the legislation that imposed a settlement on the province’s teachers, who have been without a contract since July, 2004.
    The school employers went to B.C. Supreme Court late yesterday to (…)

    WASHINGTON - Army Secretary Noel Harvey and vice chief of staff Gen. Richard Cody said Monday that the Army was using looser Defense Department rules that permitted it to sign up more high school dropouts and people who score lower on mental-qualification tests, but they denied that this meant it was lowering standards.
    Until Army recruiters began having trouble signing up enough recruits earlier this year, (…)

    We Will Not Be Intimidated
    First they came for the communists,
    I did not speak out
    because I was not a communist.
    When they came for the social democrats,
    I did not speak out
    because I was not a social democrat.
    When they came for the trade unionists
    I did not speak out
    because I was not a trade unionist.
    When they came for the Jews
    I did not speak out
    because I was not a Jew;
    And when they came for me,
    there was no one left to speak out.

    If this is true, it does not verify the claim of OU president David Boren that this was just an "individual suicide" with no terrorist intentions. It does not rule out the possibility of an (…)

    This evening at about 9:15 I was attempting to leave the south door of the University of Oklahoma library, which leads to the South Oval of the campus. The library guard told me that the exit was closed, because of an "incident" on the Oval about an hour earlier. In response to my question, he said it was an explosion, but had no further information.
    I then went out the west exit, and a security guard there said that a person (…)
