Dates on calendar are closer than they appear. -- PUBLISHER'S COLUMN IN THE FORM OF AN OPEN LETTER TO A UNTIED STATES CONGRESSPERSON Dear Mark, [Green] (R) - Green Bay Senator Wellstone says that since Clinton forced passage of the Plan Colombia which you and I discussed at Bay Beach amusement park last summer, political violence went through the roof, and has yet to stop. He says the two major guerilla groups continue making serious violations, including mass kidnapings. Colombia's police say they registered twenty-three paramilitary massacres in January alone. I remember reading about suspicious murders almost immediately after Clinton and Albright rushed that horrible plan through in the middle of the night before you or your collegues could've demanded a moratorium. Now I know burden of proof's on me and your other constituents before you'd like to consider closing the SOA. Maybe that's fair, maybe it's not. Just the past couple weeks there's been heightened paramilitary activity, despite the new name of the school and the fact that we're trying to run so many more colombian soldiers through all those secret classes. Frankly it reminds me of drinking wine with a wino every weekend thinking if you do it in moderation next to him maybe he'll slow down someday. Make a long story short, I voted for you because of your honesty about Colombia, and your efforts to slow down Clinton and his police state. Besides my mom, you're the first Republican I've voted for since the 80's. Mark, I don't believe our foreign policy is reformable in Chiapas, Guatemala OR Colombia, and I don't feel it's reformable in Georgia. I'd like you to consider defunding the SOA, not because of proof Kenneth Star, Ron Kuby or Ramsey Clark can come up with for a fee, but because it just seems logical. Please don't wait until you're 65 and a sudden fan of decriminalizing drugs before you help me stop the killing, ok? Marco ---- ATI ZINE. We're NOT What's For Lunch! ---- & In CorpRatOkRazy nEWz : Subway's sandwich shop sued a Grosse Pointe, Michigan landlord telling him to drive a vegan cafe out of business three doors away in a strip mall. John Chetcuti, owner of Atom's Juice Cafe, which doesn't sell meat or dairy products, says he doesn't see how his store is in any way competing with Subway. Chetcuti's clientel tends to be the 5 to 10 percent of the eating population made up of Buddhists, Sikhs, lactose-intolerant, Hare Krishnas, vegans and vegetarians and not only do these people never frequent Subways but he doesn't think Subway customers would be interested in eating at Atom's Juice Cafe. He says legal fees have already drained the small shop's profits and increased its debt. Last October, Subway sued Fisher Road Properties, owner of the small shopping area across the street from Grosse Pointe South High School, saying that Subway's national ad campaign "emphasizes and stresses the healthy nature" of submarine sandwiches, and that the landlord violated a no-competition clause in the lease by allowing a shop to move in that "directly competes with Subway in their attempts to market healthy food products." This caused the landlord to sue Atom's for breach of contract, and Atom's countersued to stay in business. Les Winograd, spokesman for Subway, said the company will not comment on pending litigation. Gary Wilson, an attorney for Atom's, said a hearing is set for March 12 to determine if an agreement can be worked out. Chetcuti said the juice bar can't move, otherwise the brothers and their families would go bankrupt having spent $180,000 of "borrowed and begged" money to open the shop and another $7,500 on legal fees.

This issue of ATI Zine will contain this short CD review and we'll follow it up every other week or so with a plug. I'll probably discuss another song at length every other week. Why? Well to be honest with you, I can't pick one favorite song yet. I like them all. Their sound? Why try to categorize, but if I were tied up and forced to pick, fear of having my toenails yanked off by Mike Myers' teeth in a part-four-bad-movie-sequel, I'd tell you straight ahead good 'n loud rock. It starts out sounding like if Lenny Kravitz DIDN'T sign with Tommy Hilfiger, and moves into this ethereal ballady Eagles-plus-Prince-divided-by-2 kind of sound that I can't quite put my finger on. By the time you're too bothered with not being able to tell why you like it, this CD ends with the wackest Ozzie Osborne meets Trent Reznor meets Flea kind of sound. Which of course leaves you saying, "when's their NEXT one coming out? Shit, I was trying to avoid mentioning a single song 'til April. "Duplication Man" kicks some serious music industry ass. OK, they're not quite the Lucky Boys, but then they're not from Chicago either. And sorry. It's just the truth. No one can be both a LuckyBoy and from Chicago, except, well, well except a LuckyBoy from Chicago. Right? --I'm Prime-- =& I Said That= WELP, THAT'S ALL FOLKS... Hope you liked the 'zine!
