...leaders marched quietly, almost grimly. They didn't smile except to brush off an occasional insult from the sparse crowd on the sidewalks. The fog had lifted slightly but it was still a very gray day. Appropriately, a little boy marched beside Spock holding onto his hand. "Hey, Spock," somebody yelled. "Take a walk.
