THREE GORED BY BULLS: Three men, two Americans and an Australian, were gored by bulls today in the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona made famous by Ernest Hemingway in his novel The Sun Also Rises. Security experts say that it is unknown at this point if the bulls had a connection to al-Qaeda, but there have been several reports from Spain recently about the possibility of antiglobalization activists making some attempt to stop the San Fermin festival. Spanish police are now questioning the bulls involved.

In a related story from Spain, animal rights activists ran nude in an attempt to bring attention to the cruel treatment of the bulls in Pamplona, thereby proving Mark Twain’s dictum that clothes make the man—naked people tend to have little or no influence on society.
