...picketing in front of private residences. Marchers' legal protection probably applies to most privately owned thoroughfares that are used regularly by the public, such as the paths and parking lots of shopping centers.

On Thursday, Nixon took off for a weekend in Florida, where welcoming crowds at Homestead Air Force Base and the Key Biscayne presidential compound cheered him and cheered him up. Later, a group of University of Miami students appeared to chant "All we are saying is give peace a chance." Nixon claims that his Cambodian strategy is doing nothing less.
