...American people showered them with rice, pinned them against the canopy in defiance of police lines, finally allowed them to get to their car. An elderly woman darted under the arm of a policeman and rapped peremptorily on the rear window. "All I want to do is shake hands with him," she told the cop defiantly. (The Veep rolled down a window and obliged.) Other women stormed into the church and briskly stripped the chancel of every last chrysanthemum, camellia and fern...
