...away from the plazas of the Avenue of the Americas and from the leather rhinoceri gifts being handled at Abercrombie and Fitch, a violent force is knocking out a plaster wall, blowing away cinderblock partitions, fracturing a living human skull, injuring three other people and sending rubble and shock waves in all directions. The offices of the Political Rights Defense Fund and those of two libertarian organizations have been ruined...
