Archivist: Llo Hello. Welcome to ATI51. First off, I apologize for all the typos in ATI49 and ATI50. We'll try to better this time ;) . I would like to welcome all of the new ATI readers that have been added to our net distribution list. We acquired these new readers due to a piece written by Prime and myself that was run in the Computer Underground Digest (CuD). Any reader who has any comments or contributions, or would just like to say hi, email me at: ...uunet!tronsbox!akcs.groundzero Those of you who expressed an interest in writing for ATI may send in their contributions by typing them out and emailing me the text at the above address. Anyone who does not have a net address may type out their piece in hardcopy (handwrite it if you have to as long as it's readable) and send it to me at the above ATI's PO Box address. Submissions can range in size from one paragraph to about 15k. We will consider articles larger than 15k, but send a brief outline first before submitting the actual piece. A warm welcome also goes out to two new regular contributors: Happy Harry Hardon (anyone see "Pump Up The Volume"?) and Stormbringer. You'll be seeing items from them every so often. Also, some corrections and updates on items in ATI49/50. Ripco BBS is back up, under a much smaller system with a file area and one message base. The sysop, Dr. Ripco, has stated that the "new Ripco" is not meant to replace the system as it was before Sun Devil, but exists mainly as a means for interested parties to keep in touch. Call it at 312-528-5020. In our review of other interesting publications, we neglected to mention CuD (although we have written it up in a previous issue). It is an online newsletter dedicated to reporting items about the computer underground and any issues relevant to computer use, first ammendment rights of computer users, and more. CuD is a professional journal and provides valuable information in a well-written, concise format. To get on their distribution list, email them at: tk0jut2@NIU.BITNET. Now, as always, let's start out with Prime Anarchist and his column, Prime Anarchist World News: pawnPAWNpawnPAWNpawnPAWNpawnPAWNpawnPAWNpawnPAWNpawnPAWNpawnPAWNpawnPAWNpawn Allo, Luke. Laura et al?

James Baker (not the jailed preacherman-prophet- pudpuller-pee, but might as well be (the sik of state)), in a sudden turn of back on national tv, told both sides of the gaza strip (dont ask for an 8 oz gaza strip (medium-well) at a kosher restaurant.) "our fone # is still 1-202-456-1414. If you feel like talking about peace sometime, give us a call." Now, I'm not saying we should continue our orgiatic lovemaking with either side but we've been in bed with Israel for 42 years now, and mother earth has stayed-together-at-her-seams so far DESPITE all our efforts to plunder, pillage and petrify. You know what the Bible says about cursing Israel? Uh oh... Welp, that's about it for now. Tune in next week when Prime interviews a friend of a friend of a real beatnik. We'll have more phun #'s, and we'll bring you "all the viewz that fits in a bag lady's shopping cart". Hasta Banana..Buenos Tacos.............
