| Berkely boycott threat |
| 2001-10-22 |
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Berkeley may pay a price for its City Council's anti-American views: "Berkeley officials and some merchants were rattled yesterday by the threat of an economic boycott of the city over a City Council resolution opposing the U.S.-led bombing of Afghanistan. Some local businesses lost large contracts, and several individuals said they would avoid Berkeley shops and restaurants, but observers said it is too early to know what the effect will be." |
