...U.M.W. District 11. Last week any visitor was met by at least three AR-15-armed guards. In his office, which still has holes in the wall from the ax attack of the U.M.W. toughs, B&M Owner Paul Teegarden kept a 9-mm Smith & Wesson automatic pistol on his desk and a 12-gauge shotgun on the wall. Said Teegarden, who lived in his office from the beginning of the strike: "If they come again they won't walk away...
...first day," reported TIME'S David Wood. A slight, wiry official showed up at the Ghion Hotel and told the reporters: "We will insist that you stay at this hotel and that you stick to the official program." He was not kidding. His instructions were enforced by pistol-toting guards stationed outside the hotel.

The swarm of prototypes is so thick that when a Los Angeles body artist, a few years ago, created an "event" by shooting a pistol at a jet aircraft passing over Venice Beach, not even that lonely gesture of narcissistic aggression could be called original. Had not André Breton, the pope of surrealism, announced 50 years ago that the ultimate surrealist acte gratuit would be to fire a revolver at random into a crowd...
