I am a Ph.D. candidate at Harvard, writing my doctoral thesis on computer networks and political participation. I am working with the Intelligent Information Infrastructure Project at MIT, http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/iiip/home-page.html, that is doing great stuff around political applications on the Net. The Political Participation Project is intended to explore how computer networks can facilitate political participation. There are great links to sites about politics, government, elections, online activism, and computer networking. The URL is http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/ppp/home.html. Mark S.

I just connected to the sen.ca.gov web server. I don't like to use trendy words like words "empowered" very much, but that's the only way I can describe how this thing makes me feel. Like the rest of us, I knew intellectually that it was the right thing, but the feeling of actually being able to instantly browse what my government is doing just kind of takes my breath away... Thanks for everything you've done to make this possible. [Well-earned praise for their work. But, I had nothing to do with the Senate system. They done it all themselves! --jim] ------------------------------ YOU SHOULD LIVE SO LONG (RE A NEW LISTSERV) >From owner-new-list@VM1.NODAK.EDU Tue Oct 11 10:55:12 1994 From: POSTMAST%TREARN.BITNET@VM1.NODAK.EDU Subject: NEW: LONGEVITY - Ways to extend human life LONGEVITY on LISTSERV@vm3090.ege.edu.tr This list discusses ways to extend human life.
