Five Catholic Worker Activists Arrested Outside General Dynamics Plant
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Connecticut, five anti-nuclear activists connected to the Catholic
Worker movement were arrested Monday for blocking the gates at a General
Dynamics plant in New London, where the Columbia-class nuclear
submarines are being designed and constructed. During the action, a
group of 20 protesters held life-sized images of Robert Oppenheimer, the
"father of the atomic bomb," with a banner reading, "Don't be a
'Destroyer of Worlds' - Stop the Columbia Sub."
