I picked it up from Wired-MT. ----- Books Banned Around the World http://www.iftpc.org/banned.html "The following is a list of books banned in their authors' native countries but available in the United States. The list covers a broad political spectrum, but it is a small representation of the many books throughout the world that are challenged, banned, or, in other, often devious ways, denied publication for political reasons. In the future, we expect to make the list more comprehensive." __________________________ Don Wood Program Officer/Communications American Library Association, Office for Intellectual Freedom 50 East Huron Street, Chicago, IL 60611 1-800-545-2433, ext. 4225; Fax: 312-280-4227; [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ala.org/alaorg/oif/ http://www.ala.org/cipa/cipalegalfund.html intellectual freedom @ your library Free People Read Freely. http://www.ala.org/alaorg/oif/intellectualfreedomandcensorship.html "If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."--Noam Chomsky ------ VAN ------------------------ books. cats. quilts. life is good. ------------------------ Diane K.
