[BerkeleyDailyPlanet] Catching up for the New Year

Mon Jan 5 10:29:05 PST 2015

 Dear subscriber, The last two issues are short, since not much has
happened around here and we’ve all been busy with holidays.  That being the
case, be sure to take a look at Conn Hallinan’s two columns in the current
issue.  The number of links in them, especially the one on Syria, reflect
the huge number of sources he relies on to produce his cogent syntheses of
what’s going on in world news.  There’s all sorts of other good stuff from
our regulars as well. One housekeeping detail: You continue to get these
email updates because once upon a time you told us you wanted to
“subscribe”.  All that means is that you’re on this mailing list.  If at
any time you change your mind, simply write a quick email to
unsubscribe at berkeleydailyplanet.com and we’ll take you off. And now, read
this: Current Issue <http://berkeleydailyplanet.com/issue/2015-01-02>

It’s cold out for Berkeley, isn’t it?  Remember the birds. Button up your
