San Francisco Bay Guardian asks, “Where’s Harry?” According to San Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano, the main man pulling the city’s gay community together when Harvey Milk was assassinated was Harry Britt. Yet Britt doesn’t appear in the new feature film Milk.

Britt doesn’t seem concerned.

History isn’t always fair to those who carry the torch, but those of us who knew Harry at New College know that his work over the last thirty years has made a big difference. Maybe someday he’ll get the recognition he deserves.

It appears that the SEIU has secured a court order to compel arbitration over unpaid back wages. Whether the 115 former employees of the school who remain creditors will ever see a nickel from the trustees is another matter. But, for now, we wish them well.

For what it’s worth, the Matthew Wilkes case has been settled out of court.
