News on the Draft Issue (Jan 11) Links to news stories on the occupation of Iraq and the possibility of the draft. Includes information on all the drafts: poverty draft, youth draft, skilled worker draft and backdoor draft. The draft issue can make this war more personal to many Americans.

DawnWatch: PETA's Fish Empathy Project is first article in US News & World Report 1/10/04 For years, scientists made and shared the assumption that because their nervous systems are different from those of mammals, fish do not experience pain as we do. Therefore, not only did many otherwise vegetarian people continue to eat fish, otherwise compassionate people have fished, not just for food, but for sport, with "catch and release" fishing being a popular way to maintain lake populations. In some areas, the same fish might get caught between five or ten times. Recent stud...

DawnWatch: New York Times on Alaska Zoos elephant treadmill plans The Sunday, January 9. New York Times has a story about the Alaska Zoo's elephant, named Maggie.
