on the veto. However, there is
ome speculation that if it came
to a vote, there would not be
enough votes to override it. To
override such a veto, four-out-of­
five city council members would
have to vote against the veto.
Council President Dwight
Down voted against c:ind­
ing the resolution in th fi t
place. Councilman Frank Ross,
who was absent for the vote to
rescind, strongly expressed his
disapproval of it. During a public
s ion of the July 5 meeting,
when an officer of the Massachu­
setts Block Club called for "more
visible police officers," to deter
crime on his block, Ross said that
if a new municipal complex was
built, the police headquarters .
would be near his street.
The block club official then
said that crim was ramp nt on

Currency devaluation
rock French spearing Mrica
NIAMEY, NIGER - Millions of people in French-speaking
Africa hav been plunged deeper into poverty as a result of
their countries being forced by France and the Western domi­
nated International Monetary Fund to devalue their joint
currency. The January devaluation had the effect of cutting the
value of the currency in half and nearly tripling the 008t of
imported goods.
The countri in question are mostly former French colonies
which operated a joint currency under the African Financial
Community. Fran supported thejoint currency for decades
but last y r d id it could no longer afford to do so.
The devaluation is typical of the type of "shock therapy"

political spiels are
broadcast over 625
radio and 220 'IV stations
nationwide, is often called
"provocative." .
It would be more
'accurate to call him "wrong."
And that's not just a matter
of opinion. It's a matter of fact. Rush Limbaugh' groundless a sertions on i ue
of public importanc include:
• "most Canadian physicians" com to the U. . when in need of surgery;
• nicotine's addictiveness "has not b n proven";
• volcano s do more harm to the ozone lay r than man-made chemicals;
condom u r have a on -in-fiv AID ri k;
"the poorest p ople in America are. b tter off than the mainstream of
famili in Europe";
the Clinton nd their daughter to a hool in which 8th grader are
assign d. th theme "Why I F el Guilty Bing Whit ";
an N.BC N ws pr sident faked ev n "with th express hope of destroying
General Motors"; .
"not one indictment" re ulted from Lawrence Wal h's Iran-Contra
investigation. (In fact, th re w r. 14 indictments, most r ulting in
conviction or guilty pl a .)
All of th a rtion, and many mor ,ar plain wrong. It' all documented
in a new r port, "Limbaugh's Reign of Error,' in FAIR's magazin EXTRA!
