...more serious anti-American display occurred Sunday in Madrid, where Reagan was scheduled to begin a two-day state visit on Monday as the guest of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia. Some 500,000 protesters marched through the downtown area, burning American flags and calling Reagan a "murderer" and a "fascist...
...Plymouth Rock. Barrows primly described the evening as "a lovely affair."

The case of the Consul General is no different simply because he represents a regime which nearly all of us find morally reprehensible. While we may not support his position, he deserves to be heard. His status as a foreign diplomat and an invited guest should have been respected...
