There, snuck in on page sixteen, in a small left column of the New York Times, was the news that the FBI had gunned down one Filiberto Ojeda Rios, a Puerto Rican Freedom Fighter.

If it had not been for a friend who was enmeshed in the situation hours after it happened on Friday (and hence uncharacteristically late), I would not have known. And then I knew how little I knew. Which puts me in the category of "most people." So I made sure to look for it. I had to dig, but it was there, a vague and bland account. Although it sure did sound different than the first hand account I caught wind of.

I wonder if anyone reads page sixteen.
