Along the third base line traffic was light to moderate around the McCarthy headquarters. Further up the line draft information was being dispensed and Resistance buttons sold indescriminately. Peace Pets were also on display: a kitty-litter of (predictably) kittens, a dozen dogs, one waterlogged turtle, two gross of goldfish, and a dove were up for grabs...
