...Japan would prevail and the President could be assured at least a reasonably cordial welcome. However, one wonders what those same experts meant when they hoped that the Japanese police would take firmer action. Are we to presume they meant that the police should open fire on the mob in order that the itinerary of a globe-trotting head of state would not be upset...
...signers-Umberto Boccioni, Luigi Russolo and Carlo Carra-held a "Futurist Evening" in Turin, they set off a riot. In Bologna, Carra was nearly killed when an exasperated antifuturist hurled a bench at him, and in Treviso the three painters had to be rescued by the police from a mob.

Pearson tells the famed story of how, at the furor's height, a boisterous mob stopped a gilded carriage, thinking that Charles's French mistress, Louise de Keroualle, was inside. Nell Gwynn saved matters by sticking her head out and saying, "Pray, good people, be civil: I am the Protestant whore...
