DEAR SUN SPOTS: In your Aug. 27 column, a reader inquired about the monument on Gile Mountain in East Auburn. I have enclosed a copy of a Sun Spots' column from January 1988. I saved the column at the time because it was a sad and interesting story. I enjoy your column very much. -- David, Poland Spring ANSWER: Thank you, David! Sun Spots never would have found that old column without your help (pre-Internet). Since other readers probably will find it interesting, too, Sun Spots re-typed it. It read as follows:

During the anti-war protests of the 1960s and 1970s, I frequently saw student-age marchers wearing T-shirts bearing the likeness of Leon Trotsky, one of the hard-core revolutionaries who inflicted communism on Russia. Occasionally, I chatted with these marchers, and I agree with Robert Service's conclusion that they "were untroubled by the desire to read what he [Trotsky] had written and done."

WASHINGTON Activists from the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals stood outside the U.S. Capitol handing out pamphlets in front of an exhibit they called "Animal Liberation.
