The American version of a demonstration is very ritualized. No tear gas. Everyone gets to hold a placard and march in an orderly row in such a way that the campus entrance is *not* blocked. Still, there was an article in the Times (page B 8479).--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Indeed, very different from France. One year, my second, they blocked the whole campus for two months. Chairs and tables had been used to form barricades, etc.quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------That you can suggest this in earnest tells me you've never met her.

The plan is to help out at the Dying Earth RPG booth (I love that game). But I just learned I'll be moving permanently to L.A. in August... I did get a fellowship after all, only I'll have to move there to get it. Never wish for something--it may be granted to you. Blech.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------I've never played to the Dying Earth RPG. Is it French, originally? I think I was still there when it was first published.No Gen Con for me this year, most probably.As for seeing my wishes granted... Hm, it happened, though rarely, and too often then, there was a hidden needle.</blockquote>
