Violent Orgy. Chicago cops are built like beer trucks. They flailed blindly into the crowd of some 3,000, then ranged onto the sidewalks to attack onlookers. In a pincer movement, they trapped some 150 people against the wall of the hotel. A window of the Hilton's Haymarket lounge gave way, and about ten of the targets spilled into the lounge after the shards of glass. A squad of police pursued them inside and beat them. Two bunny-clad waitresses took one look and capsized in a dead faint. By now the breakdown of police discipline was complete...
...Roberto Rodriguez, wore bombachas (Gaucho-type bloomers), and there was even a black peasant-delegate from Haiti. During the Pope's speech, the honored peasants sat behind him on a flag-decked platform. Afterward, they received his blessing and gave him gifts, including a bottle of chicha (corn beer) from Chile and a Peruvian wreath of alpaca, llama, and vicuna known as a chopo...

McGuire had just returned from two months of flying arms and food into the beleaguered African state of Biafra...
...alcohol; he walked, and walking was like drinking. He drank it in on waking, and went all day from sundown to blackout wallowing in it until he dropped from exhaustion and total inebriation, happy and not caring if he ever woke again. Trudging all day over the flat stale beer of the stony plain, brandy of hills, mouth shut tight because it seeped in continually through eyes, ears, nose and anus, the drink of land and the never-ending gutterbout of topography, a blinding weekend of landbooze that went on for months...
