This is scanned newsprint, not web text. The original PDFs carried no text layer at all, so every word here was read off the page by OCR. Expect dropped opening letters, run-together words and wrong characters. There was no contents page to cut the paper up by, so the articles were found from the size of their headlines: a headline may carry its kicker, and where an article ran beside a boxed panel a few lines of the neighbour can appear. The scanned issue is the authority; this text is here so the words can be found at all.

Over 500 young people from all over Europe are expected to come together for a week of political discussion, exchange of experience, self-organisation and having a good time. Perugia, Italy from July 29 to August 4.

They will discuss the neoliberal offensive in all its forms - from the war in Iraq to the war on the right to free education - plan the fightback and map out the strategy necessary to gain another Europe, another world while at the same time finding out at first hand what's the same and what's different in the politics and partying of each country.

There will be much to discuss, particularly for students from Britain who are wondering how it is that the European student movements seem more radical wan our own. Is were somelning different about the way we organise here? There is much to learn and much to say.

At a speech in Lithuania on May 4, US Vice President Dick Cheney criticised the Putin administration for 'moving away from democracy' and for interfering in the internal affairs of neighbouring countries such as Ukraine.

The Bush (or indeed any previous US) administration is hardly renowned for not interfering into the internal affairs of other countries! Cheney's words should therefore be seen as a shot across Putin's bows to try to force Russia into line in both its domestic and foreign policies.
