Last Thursday evening, a small group of activists stood outside Watertown's New Rep Theater and politely offered material (like this) with further information about the subject of the play, My Name is Rachel Corrie (see my review of the show, here) and the International Solidarity Movement.

In almost all cases, the papers were simply accepted politely and the theater patron moved on, perhaps with a thank you. So who was the only person who refused to take one?

Cathy Hoffman, director of the Cambridge Peace Commission.
