It's a big Berkeley weekend down at the Chronicle, with no less then four Berkeley related stories. (Three by the same author, Charles Burress.)

First is a Berkeley anti-war couple running one of the larger anti-war websites, financial and otherwise. Interesting tidbit:

Mindful of their broad appeal, the couple shy away from identifying their Berkeley connection, calling themselves "Silicon Valley entrepreneurs" on their Web site and press statements.

"Berkeley has been typecast," Blades explained.

They said the city is perceived as "fringey," a word that cannot be applied to their own politics.

When the anti-war activists are calling Berkeley 'fringey,' you know it has an image problem.

Second, a Berkeley grandmother walked to DC (mostly) for peace.

Third, former Chancellor Kerr's second volume of memoirs hasbeen released, the juicy ones. The synopsis makes him look like a brilliant administrator and academician who was never able to get a handle on students and politics.

And finally, the Bears beat Oregon! Alright!
