DAIS Newsletter REDUX (from May/June, 2003) is entitled, "Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don't!" The article speaks to the struggle of the disability community to decide how, and when, we want to be portrayed in the media, and parallels a discussion of recent days on the DSSHE-L listserv.</p> http://daisweb.com/node/236#comment Tue, 13 Mar 2007 08:35:28 -0500 janejarrow 236 at http://daisweb.com http://daisweb.com/node/234 <p>The February edition of the DAIS Online newsletter is now available (barely!).
