this is an expanded piece on the FDA and Biotechnology

Blurb: Last week, the FDA released a new report on consumer concern with biotechnology. Arthur Foelsche from the Free Media Network spoke with Brian Tokar about the anouncement and the Bush administration's relationship with the biotechnology industry.

City Comptroller Alan Hevesi, a possible Mayoral candidate in this year's

Democratic primary, spoke at yesterday's vigil on 1157 Wheeler Avenue, but

was heckled and booed by a crowd of thousands when he made some inappropriate,

disrespectful and ill-timed comments about reconciliation with the NYPD,

according to the crowds.

You might try this for the 2nd graf.

People say the event, which the family requested be called a vigil and

not a protest, to remember Diallo's humble life, was almost single-handedly

dc edit

A group of 7 activists calling themselves the “Democracy Seven” stood trial on Tuesday for charges relating to a protest they were involved in last summer in the District of Columbia. The activists were arrested in on June 26th last year after they disrupted a congressional vote on a District of Columbia Appropriations bill in the U. S. house of representatives by chanting “DC Votes No! No DC!.”

The D.C. Appropriations Bill enables Congress to

control the city's budget and

includes riders that overturn locally passed

legislation.

Depending on what you hear from the interview, you may want to alter this. We need to double check that Norton did testify(she was expected to).

DC Protestor Headline Text:

In DC Superior Court on Tuesday, the prosecution concluded it's case{if you find out both sides concluded, just say that instead) against activists who protested in Congrerss last summer against legislation they believe oppresses the District's residents. DC congressional Representative Elanor Holmes Norton testified on behalf of the defense.
