    Newsreel has a film named Summer 68.  The film has a section on GI organizing 
    and focuses on Fort Hood.  It is a look into GI coffee houses near bases.  
    While Im at it, let me say that to complain that there was a small crowd in 
    Berkeley around the recent Palestinian/Israeli fighting  , at least you had 
    an event.  I have not heard of other events happening anywhere else.    roz
