Hello No to Nato people,
This message is a longstanding hoax, called the "teddy bear hoax."  It leads people to delete a generally innocent file from their computers.  If you don't believe me, look up "virus" and "jdbgmgr.exe" in your favourite search engine.

	========================================================
	 
	My autobiography, SAYING NO TO POWER (Creative Arts, Berkeley, 1999),
	was written for the general reader. However, if you teach in the social
	sciences consider it for student reading. It is a history of how the
	American
	people fought to defend and expand its rights in my lifetime, employing
	the form of the life story of one who was involved in most serious
	movements: labor, student, peace with the USSR, civil rights South and
	North, civil
	liberties (I seriously damaged the Senate Internal Security Committee,
	the McCarthy Committee, and the House Un-American Activities Committee
	with testimonies that may be heard/seen on my website,
	http://www.billmandel.net ), the RADIO OF DISSENT (37 YEARS ON
	PACIFICA),
	with very extensive information on its history) and the feminist
	movement,
	although I am male. The book  contains some fifty pages on my late wife,
	Tanya, appearing appropriately throughout the book. They may be found in
	the index under Mandel, Tanya. My activities began in 1927. I am 85. The
	book
	is available through all normal sources. If you want an autographed
	copy,
	send me $23 at 4466 View Pl., Apt. 106, Oakland, CA. 94611
