Fringe candidates are lurking in Massachusetts as well. Socialist Party candidate. J. Quinn Brisben wants to "socialize" health care and banking. And get rid of the CIA while he's at it.

Erik Thompson, a Minnesota native and Stanford grad who served for there months in a Federal prison camp for trespassing on nuclear site says he is "focusing on peace and justice" in his campaign. But he is afraid that the American population might be a "greedy, ethnocentric, bunch of barbarians."

The mainstream press can't cover the Thompson and the Brisbens. It would be too complicated, and voters would pay even less attention to politics than they do now.

That's where we step in. If voters are unhappy with the mainstream candidate, they can look for alternatives on the fringe. And find out about the candidates in the alternative press.

So take a took at the candidates inside-Lenora, Larry, Howard and Michael. For their sake. After all, it's awfully lonely out there on the fringe.

NEW IN IS MINUTES

Movies, it seems, fade in and out of popularity about as anything else does. So in this era, when today's new film is tomorrow's video, movies lack that certain vibrancy which accompanies the knowledge that it can only be seen then and there--in the theater. So we've succumbed to the times and have decided to print encapsulated movie reviews from pervious issues of 15 Minutes. We have, however, declined using the rating symbol so popular with many publications, be it a star, a turkey, or dead frog for that matter. Let's hoe that most films are complex enough and interesting enough to rise above such confining definitions.
