Subject: RE: DOCUMENTARY ON THE HOMELESS
Update: The NPR broadcast this weekend articulated that The Big Issue
will be expanding to 15-19 other cities soon. Were we not all told that
TBI had plans for only LA and LA only. Santa Monica nor any other city
would be a focus. Now it wants to be the "Mother Jones of North
America"
