...surface similarities were striking. Five hundred buses converged on the muggy capital. A vast crowd-half white, half black-marched from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial. Placards identified them as "Sisters of Watts" and "Concerned Citizens from Slippery Rock"; costumes identified them as Indians and Mexican-Americans, hippies and middle-class citizens of all shades.

Sudden flash of rock singer in psychedelic lights. Now they're wheeling her into an elevator filled with other damaged patients. Out of the elevator they go . . . why, it's a big party, a charity dance, the sign says, to benefit some highway safety campaign. George C. Scott, looking annoyed, is leaving.
