...Gaulle said. For two nights, he had not slept, and now, in De Gaulle's words, he "couldn't see clearly." Moments later, a news bulletin flashed across France: a reporter at the Elysee had seen the presidential Citroen bolt out of a seldom-used back gate. Before De Gaulle quit in 1946, he had retreated from Paris to his estate at Colombey-les-deux-Eglises in eastern France. Now some 250,000 demonstrators were parading through Paris in yet another anti-De Gaulle protest. On hearing the bulletin, they began to chant: "Adieu, De Gaulle; adieu...
...Beta huddles on retaliation. A squad car pulls in front of Beta, talks to a Jock who leans in the window, and leaves. A bottle shatters among a half dozen Beta people. A lot of Jocks immediately attack Carmen, running across the street and scaling a 16-foot gate. A bottle brushes through a tree I am standing under and smashes on the sidewalk three feet away.

On cue, some 1,000 demonstrators gathered at Broadway and 116th Street. But there was no repetition of the bloody clashes that had marked the previous week's events. Police shrugged off the student taunts, and within two hours the crowd...
...deep in a pool by city hall, love has been replaced by cynical commercialism, loneliness and fear, sporadic brutality and growing militance. Parks Superintendent Frank Foehr calls the current crop of flower children "a different element-young hoodlums." Once they loved blossoms; now, Foehr says, they come to Golden Gate Park to "put garbage in Albert Lake and break the rhododendrons." Infected communal needles boost the already soaring viral-hepatitis rate. Free stores and communal kitchens are not in evidence; now the tourist is lured by professionally made hippie costumes Pacifism, once the heart of flower power, has been supplanted...
