Leon Esterling, Edward J. Soares, and Richard S. Allen were convicted of first degree murder on March 24, 1977.

Inside the ring of the guardsmen, a few Boston police patrol the Common, wondering at the transformation of the beat they walk each night. One has been gone for four months, off work with a stroke. The altar pleases him; the thought that demonstrators may march on the Common scares him. Graying on the sides like middle-aged cops are supposed to, he worries about the day ahead.

Problems solved themselves as easily as was compatible with the obsessive single-mindedness of the advance men. The head of our security detail distinguished himself by requesting a list of subversives in each locality the President was likely to visit. This raised an interesting problem; in China conservative Republicans would undoubtedly be classed as subversives, and if we asked how many Communist sympathizers there were we would get the unsettling answer of 800 million...
