I am in Texas for a meeting hence the brevity...but I thought Gabrielle
raised a great point that I'd be curious to hear more about. This is the
issue of art used to protest or promote or criticize various nuclear
programs. I am certain there is a great deal of this in the US context...but
I'd very much like to hear about or see examples of this in other national
contexts.
