...Republican's policies. The protests organized by ACORN--a national group of neighborhood groups in poor areas--were not the only shows in town: the protest veterans of the 60s, the Yippies, staged their pot smoke-ins; the punks did their "Rock Against Reagan" concert (chanting "Eat the Rich" and "Fuck Off and Die" when the Republican delegates came streaming out of the convention center nearby, battling to be heard over a loud school band hired on short notice by the Republicans); and the crazies did their War Chest Tour--walking around the city, splashing the 'facades of capitalism' such...
