To protest the curfew, some 300 hippies held a candlelight parade through the Common, encouraging bystanders to join. Unfortunately, some of the joiners were teen-age thugs, and in a prolonged melee that flashed off and on for three days, 34 were arrested. Police said that only six of them were authentic hippies...
