Peter O'Leary on Rhode Island Notebook 

probably the most thorough, thoughtful review of RIN i've thus far read 

-- which is saying something, thanks Peter

Cahier de Rhode Island - Et qu'est-ce, amis, qu'on appelle une route?

The prologue to Rhode Island Notebook translated into French by Guillaume Fayard 

in Myopies Revue, issue 1.

i can get behind this

"REV LOWERY: Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors
rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for
that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick
around -- (laughter) -- when yellow will be mellow -- (laughter) -- when
the red man can get ahead, man -- (laughter) -- and when white will
embrace what is right. Let all those who do justice and love mercy say amen.
AUDIENCE: Amen!
REV. LOWERY: Say amen --
AUDIENCE: Amen!
REV. LOWERY: -- and amen.
AUDIENCE: Amen!"
