...wait seemed interminable, the suspense unbearable, the foreboding all too palpable. Los Angeles police reported to their stations at dawn Saturday, ready for a replay of last year's arson and looting; 600 National Guardsmen gathered in armories to back them up; at Camp Pendleton 70 miles away, U.S. Marines had been practicing urban assault tactics in case neither the cops nor the National Guard could quench the flames of racial riot...
