An American by naturalization but a Czechoslovak by birth, I ran around to my liberal friends and tried to work up a little low-keyed demonstration. They responded yawningly, "Oh yes, I did hear something about something going on . . . Uh, where is it now?" So, I took myself on a lonely little freedom march up Fifth Avenue.

I found myself thrust into a boisterous demonstration of young and old Rockefeller supporters, armed with brassy instruments, who had come to the airport to greet the Massachusetts delegation.
