Theirs was a full-bodied sound, with the kind of focus and control that was totally absent in the Princeton group. The latter has the same basic sensitivity, but they lack the sheen and polish that make the Harvard Glee Club so irresistible in spite of everything.

Even before the march began, the Viet Cong's "Liberation Press Agency" announced the formation of a "South Viet Nam People's Committee for Solidarity with the American People." Its aim: to cheer on the dissenters and encourage desertion among American and South Vietnamese troops. Said a message to the Mob from North Vietnamese Premier Pham Van Dong: "The Vietnamese people thank their friends in America and wish them great...
