Could have been one of the resident anarchists in the WB. At one time, the anti-globalization movement had several insiders working for the WB and IMF. That was several years ago, so I don't know if the WB still has any closet anarchists on staff.
When the rev comes, I still have first dibs on the WB's "Infoshop" sign and we're still going to roll that huge globe of the world from the WB auditorium down into the Potomoc.
