[CIMC-working] Re: feedback? - PROPOSED: TABD update feature

[Chris Kaihatsu]

Doug, all,

Looks fine by me. I like that it's compact. Couple thoughts, though:

If you think it's okay, and not too much of a burden on you, could you put =
in the articles'/posts' titles in as active links, instead of "1, 2, 3"? =
I realize I'm the one who said "Why not 'Story 1,' 'Story 2,' and so on,"=
 but I think maybe the actual titles would be more appealing to readers.

Also, the Azteca workers had a presence at the protest yesterday, and there=
 is a story on their fight. Could we link it in?:

<p>Thursday, November 7: More than 2500 marched to protest the=20
Trans-Atlantic Business Dialog summit.  Before the march, protesters=20
applauded various anti-war, anti-Boeing and pro-worker speakers who=20
addressed the crowd outside of Boeing headquarters at Washington and=20
Riverfront Plaza. Demonstrators expressed grave concerns with TABD=20
corporations' bloody thirst for profits at the expense of bombed civilians=

and laid-off workers. Various social justice movements were clearly=20
represented--as evidenced by signs and chants: labor, peace, global justice=
=20
(anti-globalization/imf/wto/etc.), anarchist, etc. A sub-theme of the march=
=20
were posters depicting the TABD businessmen as vampires and youths dressed=
=20
in suits with fangs.

<p>Protesters were spirited and peaceful as the march progressed east on=20
Washington and north on Michigan. The streets were lined by thousands of=20
police officers. Two arrests are reported, including one of an animal=20
rights activist who was incongruously accused of trying to punch a horse.=

Corporate press reports paid more attention to the massive number of police=

than the issues inspiring the protesters. For background on the issues, see=
