The Rising Waters

If you live in Buffalo’s Inner Harbor community, you had to be real nervous on the first Friday of December 2006. During the early to late evening, the eastern end of Lake Erie experienced a lake seiche in which the water rose nine feet, seven inches over a period of hours. On top of that there were high winds (a peak gust at the airport of 67 miles per hour) and waves exceeding 15 feet. On top of that, a precipitous drop of temperature.



Israel and Us, Part 2

This conversation with Phyllis Bennis, a fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies and a widely respected expert on the politics of the Middle East, took place during her October 10-11 Buffalo visit. Bennis was in town to give a lecture at UB, “Palestine, Israel and the US after the Lebanon War,” and to meet for discussions with students and peace activists. Her visit was sponsored by the Western New York Peace Center’s Task Force for the Peaceful Resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the UB Progressive Alliance and the Center for Comparative and Global Studies in Education.
