| July 4 protest by 100 people at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco against continued bombing by the U.S. Navy of the Puerto Rican island of Vieques. The island has been used for "live fire" target practice for 60 years by Washington. President George Bush said last month the bombing would end in two years. Francis Free-Ramos, an organizer of the protest, said, "We shouldn't give up the fight now. Instead we need to redouble our effort to get the U.S. Navy out now." |
