However, after cutting the padlock to get into the building, Reese has hunkered down for nine days (as of 3/27) with a team of supporters. Reese and 12 of her compatriots — including Reese’s mother, a longtime anti-war and civil rights activist — refused to let Board Chair Margy Wilkinson, her husband and two of her allies pass.

Precisely. And a 100K+ salary.

“Didn’t Pacifica have another radio station over in the Bay Area besides KPFK ? “

Their station IS KPFA!

It turned out that the station did not arrange this with the place, or if they did the place declined 'dine now-we'll bill you later' offer. They wanted their money now. I thought this was hilarious. I excused myself to the mens' room and exited the place.

Lucky you avoided a "chew-n-screw" arrest.

Trust you to come up with the world's most useful import/export vehicle, the trusty (and rusty) LADA, (né the FIAT 124 Sedan of 1965) soldiering on into the 21st C from Havana to Vladivostock!

But wait there was more, that newspaper is in Esperanto!
