[lbo-talk] NYC counter-recruitment guide

[Doug Henwood]

[As the guide's publicist just wrote me: "It's designed and 
illustrated by New York artists, emerging or emerged, most notably 
Paul Chan (currently in the whitney biennial), the same group that 
put out the 2004 'people's guide to the republican national 
convention.'" Copies of the guide available at locations in Manhattan 
& Brooklyn - see website for listings - and also for download at the 
site.]
