Mueller Report as play in 10 acts.
A beautiful live stream--dramatization of the Mueller Report.
If this does not drive the final nail in T's coffin, then nothing will.

Nicholas Kristoff in the NYT
(dangers of) trmp playing chicken with Ayatollah
in fact ALL orange turd's behavior is RISKY, from his grandstanding, to his strutting and boasting, to his sex (according to Stormy though, "boring") and his loose lips and his so-called "policies."

What to do if ICE knocks on your door.
You will need a Twitter acct to see this.
They may say they are police or looking for someone.
Don't open the door, don't say anything, don't sign anything, let them pass it under the door.
Contact
your lawyer or ACLU. Take photos of whatever document they shove under
door. It's supposed to be for illegal aliens only, but legal aliens
and even citizens may get harassed, even though T said he won't go ahead
with mass arrests as he planned tomorrow (Sunday).
Above all don't panic.

Prof. of English Literature at Rangoon Univ + mention of Miss Virginia Geiger
I still wish I had followed U Myo Min's advice, and taken English Literature.
I
went to see him, as he asked to see me. I had taken E Lit as well as
Burmese Lit for 2 years in college. I remember some of the lecturers,
most notable Raymond Adlam from the British Cuncil.
I told U Myo Min I could read English on my own, but I couldn't read Economics, so I was taking Ecos.
I can still see him shaking his head.
In 2004 I found he had written a beautiful obituary for my father U Kaung.

A Plan for Democracy and Development in Burma, by Kyi May Kaung (Ph.D.) --for NCGUB
I
was commissioned to write this, with input from Janelle Saffin, Burma
Lawyers Assoc., Dr Sean Turnell, Dr Nancy Hudson Rodd and others.
It's a good "blueprint" to compare with what is actually happening in Burma right now.
--the Plan is not in the online sample, so you will have to buy a copy.
I don't have any review copies to give away.
It
was on the NCGUB (National Coalition Government of the Union of
Burma--The Burmese Democratic Govt in Exile) website, but as NCGUB was
disbanded in 2012, I thought rather than have it disappear in
cyberspace, it would be better to publish it somewhere.
If there is enough interest I will publish it as a stand alone pamphlet.
Just let me know.
