Charging towards the steps of the Pentagon, many marchers managed to bypass the Army's first line of defense and ran into a secondary wall of MP's. Piling up behind the MP's more troops moved in to re-inforce the original line; U.S. Marshals wearing white helmets, business suits and night sticks patrolled the lines.

Most of the protestors were satisfied with the ground they had gained--what was later to be christened the "Free Pentagon"--and were convinced that the violence...
Steelhead Hopes. Originally an ocean fish, the alewife could not penetrate very far into the Great Lakes until the 1930s, when rebuilding of the Welland Canal provided it with a convenient bypass around Niagara Falls. Even so, their numbers remained relatively small until the 1950s, when the sea lamprey-also an oceanic interloper-wiped the Great Lakes clean of the trout and burbot that were feeding on alewives.

...case of kidneys at least, the supply of organs has been sufficient for a total of 1,200 transplants. But some 500 of these have failed, in nearly every case because the immune reaction led to rejection of the transplant. Now new ways are being explored to bypass the barrier; last week specialists in surgery and immunology from all over the U.S. met at Duke University to hear about them...
