Milan was colder than Moscow, and Madrid turned into a skating rink, with first-aid stations set up to treat all the broken bones.

And a whole segment of the march line on Tremont Street is jumping up and down with blood curdling pogo stick yells, but it is only to keep warm. (How many people here have seen Battle of Algiers...
