I was in London a couple of months ago and the CHOOSE LIFE shirts
big over there (they are just startint to appear in the trendier punky
stores here, along with the "FRANKIE SAY %s" shirts). The kids in England
are even MORE upset about nuclear war then we are, since they have
all those missles, etc., parked in their back yard. So the shirts are both
a political statement and a reflection of current fashion.
