Police drag away 1200 anti nuclear protesters
Police arrested and dragged away more than 1200 anti nuclear demonstrators outside the United Nations missions of nuclear powers during a Civil Disobedience Campaign. Thousands of officers ringed the East Side as protesters were processed, photographed, and released after being loaded onto buses. The action followed a massive Central Park rally and involved blockades at missions from the United States to Britain with plans by the Direct Action Coalition and War Resisters League organizers.

Weatherization program helps but has limits in Illinois
Subhadra Belbase reports on a federally funded weatherization program in Southern Illinois that saves energy for low income elderly and disabled residents but cannot cover all needed repairs. The program insulates, seals, and adds storm windows while excluding furnace and door fixes. Last year 13,000 Illinois homes were weatherized with $2.4 million in statewide energy savings. DCCA will spend $15.7 million this year with local groups delivering services across 102 counties. For more, call 800-252-8643.
