...Gradually the big blue-and-white helicopter rolled over on its right side. The rotating blades tilted downward, slicing into three male bystanders and badly injuring a fourth, an Italian visitor, who later died. Some of the blades hit the concrete roof and disintegrated, pieces striking people on the walkway; ten were injured. Part of a blade plummeted to the sidewalk about two blocks away, killing a woman pedestrian. The toll: five dead, 13 injured...
...poured over the parking lot. They clapped and cheered as they saw a second line of demonstrators moving inland from the sea like a slow subway train. Stopping about every 70 yards, they seeded their path with Indian corn. A third group, coming from the north, made a stone walkway across the marsh, scattering the rocks after they had passed in order to leave no mark...

Attendance was erratic: only 10,800 visitors per day turned up during eight days in Boston, but more than 40,000 descended on the train during a 2½-day stop last month in Archbold, Ohio...
