To clear up the implication (by what we lawyers call "negativa pregnans") that these views DO reflect those of the NYC NLG leadership, the President of the NYC Guild chapter has asked me to post here the following: --------- The New York City chapter of the National Lawyers Guild wishes to assure the readers of this email list that the comments posted earlier by Nathan Newman in no way reflect the political position of the NLG, NYC chapter. Nathan's comments are entirely his own. The NLG, NYC chapter is an endorser of the United for Peace and Justice coalition. Dana Biberman, president of the NYC NLG chapter --------- john mage
