The terrorist plot that wasn't. A cautionary tale from 1969.
Don Meyer, "Think about it: Sharing the harvest," The Phoenix (Nov. 28, 2009)
Clipping this because it's a reference to a local interfaith anti-hunger initiative (i.e., a gleaning project and food drive, I think), in which my state senator, Andy Dinniman, took a prominent part (and gets praised for it here by the head of the Valley Forge Christian College).

This is one of eight or nine major Durga Puja celebrations in the U.S. I'd kind of like to see this someday. It's probably all in Bangla though.
