[UC] Danny Schechter's film WMD premieres in Phila. on March 9
---Forwarded Message from the Grassroots Theatre Network Danny Schechter's WMD premieres in Phila. on March 9 Paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell. --Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black The Bush administration has come under considerable criticism for misrepresenting, manufacturing and promoting misleading evidence to justify our preemptive invasion and occupation of Iraq. As current events bear out, this behavior continues today around a host of policy issues. Even more disturbing than the administrations behavior was the lack of critical investigation and reporting by the media during the crucial days leading up to the invasion of Iraq and the early weeks and months of our occupation, behavior that also continues today. In his brilliant documentary Weapons of Mass Deception, filmmaker and investigative reporter Danny Schechter makes the compelling case that the medias failure to scrutinize the evidence and information handed out to them during government press briefings on Iraq amounted to nothing less than a dereliction of duty. Using film footage, interviews and documentation, Weapons of Mass Deception shows how the media fell into lockstep with the administration and abandoned their role as government watchdogs when their democracy needed them most. The Grassroots Theater Network Proudly Presents Danny Schechters WEAPONS OF MASS DECEPTION Wednesday, March 9th at the Bridge Cinema de Lux 40th and Walnut Streets in the University City section of Philadelphia Doors Open at 6:30PM Screening 7:15PM Admission $20 - http://www.grassrootsforamerica.us/gfa-store/buy-tickets.shtml Event includes reception and guest speaker For More Information Contact: Joe Magid (610) 642-0451 Grassroots Theater Network is a Project of Grassroots For America www.GrassrootsForAmerica.US You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named UnivCity.

Re: [UC] mover recommendations
I used Mambo for a move recently. I would use them again hands down, no questions asked. They did everything like they said they would. Arrived precisely on time with three strapping lads just like their website says, and did everything exactly as they said they would - cased out the situation, began loading, quickly and expertly, and did not break or lose one piece. They unloaded just as efficiently, put everything exactly in the place I asked them to, and took a very reasonable amount of time to do it. When I tried to help move boxes, thinking it would make it go faster, they wouldn't let me exert myself too much. Instead, they picked up the pace - it was already faced-paced move - to an even faster move. We moved an entire house from Philly to Berks County in record time. Safe, fast, friendly, careful movers. Price was not bad, either. M. M.

They were awful. I ended up carrying more boxes than the 3 movers they sent. I've also used David Krumpfitsh (sp?) who came highly recommended. They broke things, shrugged it off and then charged me more than they quoted. I've used Mambo 3 times and feel that they are by far the best in the city and worth every penny. I continue to recommend them to everyone I know. Some of my moves and my furniture were really challenging (the last move was 9 straight hours and involved a solid mahogany desk that needed to go on the 2nd floor past some delicate woodwork). They handled it all with grace, ease and a smile. Mambo is by far the best I've ever used. Hopefully this last move was it but, if I need to move again, you can bet I'll call Mambo.

[Collected on the Internet, 1995] I have heard from the ol' rumor mill that the reason that sororities don't have houses at the University of Chicago is that there's some sort of local/state law which defines four or more unmarried women living together as a brothel.

Brothels earn such designations solely on the basis of what goes on in them, not upon how many women inhabit particular buildings. Even in communities that carry such housing restrictions on their books, sororities and fraternities are exempted from them. The thrust of such laws is to set limits on how many people may reasonably inhabit what were meant to be single-family dwellings, not to enjoin those who are living in more communal settings in buildings meant for such purposes. Were such laws to apply to those latter forms of housing, local YWCAs would have been shut down and padlocked, as would a variety of nurses' residences.

Re: [UC] Looking for an Upcoming Event in Philadelphia
A bunch of us are going around to blow up Cassidy's house sometime next month. Don't know how newsworthy you consider that. Interesting angle is that we're going to use mortars sited in the vacant lot at 46th and Market. Sort of half target practice half community service event. If we can obtain severalF-16s from the National Guard armory we may do a little precision aerial bombardment and strafing. I'll let you know when we get a firm date.

Re: [UC] What to bring to the Bridge -- Leave the baby at home, but don't forget your 9mm, you might need it ....

Does anyone on this list have any ideas or suggestions? Theoretically, the Mayor should be announcing the WiFi program between now and then. The Flower Show is the first week in March (6-12). Amanda Benner will undoubtedly be leading the UC Green Planters on some greening projects within that time frame. The USP/UCGreen water garden (not to be confused with a water feature) at 42nd and Chester (or is it 43rd and Chester) will be having work done once the weather breaks. I assume that the Paving of Clark Park will continue (paving stones being laid where the Farmers Market is located. The Spruce Hill May Fair is in May. There will undoubtedly be a number of Rooster sightings as soon as the weather warms up. T.T.F.N. William H.
