...first of the incidents, Theodore Landsmark, 29, a black lawyer, was set upon by six white youths who had been demonstrating against busing in front of Boston's modern city hall. Spearing and clubbing Landsmark with a flagpole from which an American flag fluttered wildly, they broke his nose and left him badly cut and bruised.

They were also responsible, Woodward and Bernstein...
