There are exceptions. The reporter who did the Washington Post profile
on me and the Anarchist Soccer League did alot of background checking.
But I got the impression that he preferred using the Web and
Lexis/Nexis.

I thought my interview with Time magazine sucked, but I was surprised
that they used some substantive quotes from me. I didn't feel
comfortable talking with the reporter over my cell phone, because she
had emailed the questions the night before and I was hoping to respond
via email. 

We seemed to get less and less questions about "Eugene anarchists" as
the weekend wore on. From the media accounts I've read about A16
anarchists, I'd say that I'm generally happy. It could be alot worse and
will probably get worse in the future.
