Complained Waitress Janet Dezutter, 36, who had carried a VOTE PIG IN '68 banner in the good old days: "I felt like a grandmother among them. Times have changed. The war is over." Activist Dave Dellinger made a short speech. "Who's Dave Dellinger?" someone asked. After his speech, Dellinger retired to a near North Side loft for a wine-and-cheese party for tenth...
