Committee Reports

DSK: Boredcomm: Yawn. I'll do something about it tomorrow, suggestions welcome.

AA: Moocomm: Connie and I saw Highlander. It's lots of fun, with lots of violence and a 4000 year old punk.

Articles attached. Also attached is a Herald article that belongs in the WWN about Imelda Marcos and her 2200 pairs of shoes.
