nea-aft-afl-cia?

[Richard Gibson]

I see the AFT voted to pursue merger with nea, even tho nea delegates
overwhelmingly rejected the proposal two weeks ago. Also interesting,
though, is AFT's funding of the Albert Shanker Institute, which seems to be
picking up where the National Endowment for Democracy left off. (click
below) . Does anyone have details on the ASI, like who sits on the board?

	Life travels upward in spirals. 

	Those who take pains to search the shadows

	 of the past below us, then, can better judge the

	 tiny arc up which they climb, 

	more surely guess the dim

	 curves of the future above them.
