> Bush Administration Seeks to Squelch State of the Union Protest at Capitol on January 31

Beware turf renovation. I attended the Washington demonstration this past Oct. as an artist recording Bush lies in my art. The areas along the walk way from the Lincoln memorial to the Washington monument had fresh green manure spread and the sprinklers kept it wet. You do not spread green manure on a lawn because it is ’hot’ and counterproductive for seed germination. It was very effective in corralling wandering demonstraters from staying off the lawn but it also harbours bacteria that can be spread when people track it into buildings and it dries and becomes airborne. Not a big danger but enough to be detected and certainly a discomfort when you step in it.
