--UNC-Chapel Hill commencement program insert written by Town and Gown for a Peace Economy, a coalition of peace and justice groups. The insert contained a list of jobs graduates can expect to find in peacetime versus those available in wartime; a critique of the way the government is slashing spending in some areas while funds for homeland security are flowing; and a sample of the "pro-war" voting record of North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, the commencement keynote speaker--including his backing of the USA Patriot Act.
