Others made it to Washington in Mob-organized car pools, a Pennsylvania Railroad special train, or in some 200 chartered buses (at $8.50 a head, round trip from New York). Mob financing came easily: when an antiwar ad ran in the New York Times recently, Bellinger & Co. quickly called each of the more than 200 signers and tapped them for cash. More money came in through box-office receipts from speeches by Mailer and Rap Brown, while individual contributions ranging as high as $5,000 in cash helped fill the till. The Mob also made money by selling green...
...defied police orders to move out and was subdued by a flying wedge of helmeted patrolmen wielding billy clubs and squirt guns loaded with Mace-a chemical crowd-dispersal spray that stings, sickens and temporarily blinds anyone it hits in the face. Shattered and shaken, the dissenters broke and ran, leaving bloody-headed buddies-and a dozen hapless newsmen-crumpled in the streets. The picketers resumed their vigil, forcing the draft center to bus its inductees right to the door, then double-time the soldiers-to-be through the crowd under escort of bayonet-swinging troops. It was an ugly...
...heaviest taken in a single engagement since early summer: 55 killed, 66 wounded. But elsewhere the ground action was relatively light. Though the Allies sent a total of 56 battalion-size sweeps searching for enemy throughout South Viet Nam, the only other place where the Communists fought rather than ran was in the northern I Corps area. Near Quang Tri City, 80 miles north of Danang, U.S. Marines fought a series of sharp skirmishes with North Vietnamese regulars; in the same vicinity a South Vietnamese battalion flushed a battalion of Communists and killed 195 of them in a 20-hour...
...Neill Chaplin, 42, returned to the U.S. to the bedside of her mother, Agnes Boulton O'Neill Kaufman, 76, who had been admitted to a hospital suffering from malnutrition. It was Oona's first trip home since she renounced her citizenship 15 years ago, after Charlie ran into visa trouble with the Attorney General on "moral" grounds. Denounced and disinherited by her late father, Playwright Eugene O'Neill, for marrying the 54-year-old Chaplin when she was 18, Oona has also been estranged from her mother, who was married to O'Neill from...
Charging towards the steps of the Pentagon, many marchers managed to bypass the Army's first line of defense and ran into a secondary wall of MP's. Piling up behind the MP's more troops moved in to re-inforce the original line; U.S. Marshals wearing white helmets, business suits and night sticks patrolled the lines. There was a little pushing on both sides, a few minor skirmishes, but nothing very serious. Most of the protestors were satisfied with the ground they had gained--what was later to be christened the "Free Pentagon"--and were convinced that the violence...
