Back in the States, birdwatchers continue to be harassed by the
authorities even in enlightened Connecticut, where 19 birders were

who practice witchcraft have applied to the Home Office to organize a
Pagan Police Association. They are already free to take off for Pagan
holidays, including Halloween and April Fools' Day. The number of
Pagans in the UK who are police officers is estimated to be more than

gods and are almost identical in their beliefs to members of the
American National Wildlife Federation, though perhaps not so vehement in
