SUDDEN RUSH of newsmen to center of park, I am nearly trampled by cameraman. Betty Freidan has arrived. "No woman that I've encountered is not feeling great elation on this day," she says. The beat of Liberation Now gets louder. "Ah, they're not burning any bras; let's get out of here," a man mutters. "Flags, flags, flags for sale-look real good on television," that old man calls. A woman tries to interest the photographers in plastic playground equipment she is demonstrating. They ignore...

The collective members have not become scholars of ancient revolutions but rather what Stokeley Carmichael...
...actually represents even more of a handicap when he is shooting film. "When you're doing stills," he says, "you're a chameleon, unseen and alone." TV filming is a more conspicuous, crowd-attracting business, particularly since union rules require a minimum crew of five. Though a cameraman was on the payroll for his two documentaries, Tony did most of the shooting himself. "You've got to hold your own camera, to feel it in your hands," he says...
