Enrico Clementi, a theoretical chemist at IBM's San Jose research laboratory, was familiar with the mathematical descriptions of the actions of the electrons, nuclei, atoms and molecules that participate in a chemical reaction. He was certain that a solution of all the equations involved would give a mathematically precise picture of any chemical reaction. But how could he possibly manage the hundreds of billions of forbidding mathematical steps required for the solution? To an IBM man, the answer was obvious...

Immediately after the trials in Long Beach, Cleve Livingston and Paul Hoffman had traveled up to San Jose to speak with Harry Edwards, a co-founder with Martin Luther King of the OPHR and advisor to Tommy Smith and Lee Evans...
Smith had just won the 200-meter dash in a record-breaking 19.8 sec. Carlos, his bearded teammate from San Jose State College, had finished third. Together, they turned up for the awards ceremony shoeless, wearing knee-length black stockings and a black glove on one hand (the right for Tommie, the left for John).

Like Valdez, most of the other guerrilla players are convinced that sooner or later they will all be heard...
