I for one, see that it worked; At least to some degree. Some say it was a catalyst to ending the insanity in South-East Asia. I'm not sure why it (we) stopped. Were people worn out from the visual bombardment? Today I see this journalism on the web, but not in print or TV. People ARE doing "the work". The "Battlespace Project" via Daylight Multimedia is 5 years old now, but incredibly timely. You can still check it out here http://daylightbooks.org/podcast/june2008 shan On Sun, Mar 9, 2014 at 5:24 PM, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: > Tina Manley OFFERED: > Subject: [Leica] IMG: Auschwitz > > > PESO: >> > > scanning film from Poland but this is from a later trip - 1998.
