Abstract

Nation Notes

The article presents news briefs related to "The Nation" as of July 2004. Milton Glaser, a longtime friend of "The Nation" proposes that New Yorkers welcome the Republican Party in August with a display of light. The plan emerges from a desire to show anger at what the Republicans and the President George W. Bush Administration have done to New York City, our nation and the world, while avoiding violent confrontations that could help the Republicans in the November elections. We urge readers to spread the word about this bright, peaceful and creative protest against the darkness of the Bush agenda. Columnist Katha Pollitt has been chosen to receive a 2004 Woman of Power and Influence Award by the New York City chapter of the National Organization for Women. Past recipients include former Congresswoman Liz Holtzman and Nation columnist Patricia J. Williams.
