existed.
"People who visited the mall
turned on, enjoying the trees and
people around them," says Mike
Schectman of the Ecology Center.
"Traffic, on the otherhand, floods
your senses and causes you to
withdraw," he says.

Speaking for the Ecology Center,

vestigation without naming a spe-
cific crime. "All the government
has to say is "let's investigate the
movement" and they call in all
the radical leaders for examina-
tion," Tigar says. "It's not an in-
vestigation, it's a witchhunt."
Calling upon the audience to in-
volve themselves in working to
change the grand jury system, Ti-
gar said the jury system "is being
drained of democratic content in
order to serve those people in
power-its independence needs to
be insured."
Tiger is currently defending Da-
vis on a murder charge. Davis al-
legedly purchased four guns used
in a California courthouse shoot-
out that resulted in the deaths of
four persons a year ago. Under
California law an accomplice to a
crime is charged with the same
offense as the person committing
the crime.
Because of Davis's advocacy of
revolutionary tactics many people
contend she is being tried on
" trumped-up charges.
