On March 16, as the cars lined up on the grid in Melbourne, the Sydney solicitor and father of two began his season's viewing in exactly the way he has always done: no one but him in the house, and a large Supreme pizza delivered just before the start of the race. "I was rude to my family in the morning," he says. "I reminded them that they'd promised to go away for a couple of hours in the afternoon." What does he love about F1? Screaming engines...

Before long, millions of people did. It debuted on April 4 in London's Trafalgar Square, the assembly point for the four-day march. Over the next few days, it appeared in countless newspaper photos and TV reports. Bayard Rustin, an American protégé of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. who took part in the march, brought the symbol home to a growing civil rights movement dedicated to nonviolence. When the Vietnam War started getting out of hand, protesters discovered they had a ready-made icon to signal their feelings...
