...other bandaged victims. Delos Hall, a CBS cameraman, was filming a cop-hippie clash when he was clubbed from behind. NBC Cameraman James Strickland was photographing Hall's plight when he was hit in the face and toppled. Even while he was on the air, CBS Floor Reporter Dan Rather was flattened by two security men; one hit him in the stomach, the other in the back.
