...moved the protesters about, here for a CNN live shot, there to confront a Democratic Congressman, louder here, softer over there, conducting the crowd like a roving symphony orchestra. "The election may have ended, but the campaign hasn't," said New York lawyer Brad Blakeman, a top Bush campaign advanceman now moonlighting as a freedom fighter.

The rows of chairs were filled with hundreds of journalists, all of whom had to dodge banner-waving marchers, speeding ambulances and mazes of bicycles in Tiananmen Square to make what was supposed to be a 5:45 p.m. press conference by Mikhail Gorbachev.
