We've gotten by for so long calling this decade the 21st century--a term that will sound ridiculous in 50 years--that we might as well get started...
...dirt by the sidewalk. A woman in a chador tried to pull him away, but she became the officer's next target. Somehow, though, the policeman found himself alone, and enraged protesters assailed him with rocks. One man hurled half a brick at his helmet from a distance of less than a yard...
