Only in the Bay Area can you get that rare mix of political/protest activism and the vanity of maintaining a slender figure. In a unique form of opposition, some protesters at the Federal Building staged a "vomit in,'' by heaving on the sidewalks and plaza areas in the back and front of the building to […]
