Nancy Oden: Screwing the Greens?

[Jim Farmelant]

This very same Bill Kaufman tried at least two times to get Louis
Proyect fired from his computer programming job at Columbia
University, after they had a few run ins on the Usenet newsgroup
alt.politics.socialism.trotsky.  On the first occasion, he complained
to Proyect's superiors, that he was posting to Usenet on company time.
The second time around, which occured in the midst of the Nader
campaign, he threatened to do the same thing again, but was forced
to decease after people complained about this to the Nader campaign.
