thought somebody'd hacked into the Bank's server!]
SPRING MEETINGS: PERSONS OF COLOR WANTED TO BATTLE EVIL WORLD SYSTEM. There's not much time left before the folks who turned last year's Seattle trade talks into an uprising against economic injustice face their next challenge - demonstrations aimed at shutting down the World Bank/IMF spring meetings on April 16 and 17, report the Wall Street Journal Europe and the Wall Street Journal (p. 1A). While the anti-globalization crowd purports to speak for people of color worldwide, in the US the protesters themselves tend to be white.

The Wall Street Journal has a sly, snide front-age piece, "Wanted: Persons
of Color to Battle Evil World System," on the Mobilization for Global
Justice's efforts to shut down the WB/IMF meetings in Washington April 16
and 17. Key sentence: "While the antiglobalization crowd purports to speak
for people of color world-wide, here in the U.S., the protesters themselves
tend to be people of pallor."
