In keeping with the government's policy of using anything as a weapon, David Helvarg of In These Times (Dec. 20-26, 1978) has found information documenting the use of dolphins and other marine mammals as tools of warfare. The Navy, along with the CIA, has already spent $200 million on this project, using the San Diego Point Loma Marine Sciences Lab as a front for these activities. Perhaps if this money had been spent on learning how these magnificent creatures communicate, rather than utilizing them as weapons, we could have learned from them how to live in harmony with nature and our fellow human beings, and the need for war would be eliminated. Subscriptions to In These Times are $17.50/yr. from: P.O. Box 228, Westchester, IL 60153. -YL Evict Your Landlord Most of the solutions offered renters attempting to solve conflicts arising out of the landlord-tenant relationship are bandaids. The basic problem still remains- the landlord owns the house. American Co-op Trust is a plan for turning private rental housing into non-profit cooperatives. The key to the scheme is finding a friendly investor willing to make the initial down payment in exchange for high interest and financial benefits. Monthly mortgage payments, instead of rent, are made by the co-op residents purchasing the house.
