Fellow Groupies,
 
    Sorry to interrupt the fascinating dialogue, but here's a good cause
that some of you might want to espouse.  I wonder whether Amnesty would
have taken up the case of Pound!
 
                                        Cheers,
                                        Hugh

Subject: Amnesty International
 
To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, Amnesty International is collecting signatures for a pledge to
support this very important United Nations declaration. Amnesty already has
3 million signatures (real and virtual) world wide, and wants 8 million
(which would be 1% of the world's population). The UN Secretary General has
already agreed to be present either in person or live by satellite, if he
has to be in New York, to receive the pledge as a  tangible statement of
the people of the world's commitment to an  international agenda of human
rights
 
The most simple way to add your name to the pledge is to:
 
       Send an e-mail to:   <[log in to unmask]>
 
  Put YOUR NAME in the SUBJECT and the following text in the message:
        "I support the rights and freedoms in the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights for all people, everywhere."
 
Please forward this message to as many people as you can.
