E-mails circulating among student activists recommend "bandannas soaked in vinegar" to serve as substitute gas masks and "sealed goggles, like swimmers'" to protect eyes from tear gas and pepper spray. With a unifying battle cry of "corporate reform" and a packing list borrowed from Desert Storm, students from up and down the Eastern Seaboard, are gearing up for large-scale, direct-action protests during the World Bank/International Monetary Fund meeting. The Internet has been an essential tool in these rapid, nationwide organizing efforts.
