I fail to see anything wrong with the use of triangle.general
for political postings about local and state candidates.

The Usenet is a public forum and in many ways, the city
distribution (i.e. "triangle") is like a city cafe or
bulleting board.  I would say that it is appropriate to
post political propaganda in such a forum, although
slander against political opponents is not.

It has always been unacceptable to post blatantly 
commercial messages to the net, but why extend that
to political partisanship?

Anyone who speaks Russian well enough to do a little interpreting
on Tuesday, October 6, please telephone me at (919) 362-5363.  A
professor from Minsk, Belarus, is presenting a paper on computer
software in the Research Triangle tomorrow, and if possible would 
like to have an interpreter on hand to facilitate the question-and-
answer period after the paper.  

A fee can be paid.  The interpreter would be needed from about 10:30
a.m. to 12:00 noon, or longer if possible.  I've tried the commercial
translation services and some graduate students, but was unable to
find anyone on such short notice.  Many thanks for anyone who can help.

Again, please telephone and leave a message on the machine if I'm
not here.  Bolshoye spasibo!
