...pity the poor Socialists. They always seem to get into trouble when they move out of the old ideologist neighborhood and associate with Center parties.

...kids, who looked reasonably neat, approached me and asked to borrow a quarter," Harry Brandt Ayers, the victim of the attack, said yesterday. "As I reached into my pocket, he hooked his arm around my free arm and threw me to the ground," Ayers, 33, said...
