Animal Rights Activists 'Die' In Berkeley

To raise awareness for the rights
of animals to enjoy "total liberation," especially from medical research, a group of
international protesters with the group Direct Action Everywhere, staged a
"die in" at UC Berkeley.
On top of the medical testing that takes place at the left-wing university, the
activists also claim the Berkeley
labs engage in animal cruelty.
The protesters apparently see no
moral, medical, or ethical difference between any sort of animal and a human
being.
“Even if they aren’t violating the
Animal Welfare Act, UC Berkeley is a place of terrible suffering for anyone who
isn’t a human,” said Brian Burns, an activist and recent graduate of Head-Royce School
in Oakland.
“Just because someone is different from you — be it a dog, a cat, a pig or a
rat — does not mean they deserve to be hurt or killed.” ...
“In the moment, (the benefit)
might seem like it’s a fair tradeoff,” said activist Felicia Baeza, a part-time
student at Evergreen
Valley College,
about medical testing. “But overall, you’re just keeping the idea alive that
certain beings are less than.”
The "die in" was meant
to address the contradiction of the practice of life sciences resulting in the deaths of animals.

John Ehrman
It has been 50 years since Alger
Hiss was convicted of perjury for denying that he had been a Soviet spy, but
his case continues to fascinate and stir controversy. The reasons for this are
not surprising. The case had all the elements of a fine drama: compelling
characters, accusations of treason, unusual evidence, the launching of a
presidential career, and enough inconsistencies and ambiguities to leave the
issue of guilt or innocence in doubt for decades. Indeed, when the Soviet Union
collapsed in 1991, one of the first goals of historians was to gain access to Moscow's archives and
settle the question. Although no specific file on Hiss has been released from
the KGB or GRU archives, enough material has been found in other files--in Moscow, Eastern Europe, and Washington--to enable historians to write
several new works that leave almost no room for doubt about Hiss's guilt. These
developments also have significant implications for the intelligence
professional today.
