Talking War in New York
How does a country on the edge of war look? Four partiers board a subway wearing fatigues and gas masks. Frustration mounts at an anti-war protest meeting.

Graduate journalism students at Columbia University record their observations as a series of vignettes for The Local Planet Weekly "It's the same approach we used for 'Seven Days at Ground Zero,'" which won a 2002 Alternative Newsweekly Award for feature writing, says Planet Editor Tom Grant, who is also a Columbia graduate.
