Phil Berrigan writes "We're still up to the same capers. Liz got out of fed. pen last July after 25 mos.- for a Plowshares action. And I still have 3-10 yrs hanging from King of Prussia Plowshares." 

Another writes: "I'm in prison with a 75 to life term as a result of the "Brinks case" in Nyack N.Y. on 10/20/81. This action was an expropriation carried out by an alliance of New Afriken Freedom Fighters and white anti-imperialists under the leadership of the Black Liberation Army.  The expropriation resulted in a shoot-out. 1 Brinks guard and 2 policemen were killed."
