[Imc-hm-radio] Fwd: "The Chemical Industry's Toxic Toll"

Wed Dec 15 20:33:20 PST 2004

This would be a good episode of Making Contact to run, maybe with local 
feature about The Yes Men and their Bhopal spoof.

I have contact info for the YM, and could also see if RPI's resident 
Bhopal expert would be willing to do an interview.
