Over the Fourth of July weekend, several hundred street people in Berkeley marched up Telegraph Avenue after a rally, breaking windows, smashing parking meters, looting a jewelry store and nearly overturning a new Buick from a dealer's lot. They were in for a surprise. Only 14 cops showed up to deal with the mob, armed with something new: large-bore guns that fire five wooden plugs from a single cartridge.

The protesters were of varied persuasions-from Marxist-Maoist to Quaker-and they included many affluent young adults and teenagers. Much central guidance was supplied by the Washington-based New Mobilization Committee, which coordinates the activities of many groups opposed to the war in Viet Nam.
