The CHP actions were undertaken, alas, on good Pat brown's watch. cordially, Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.

I should have remembered the Caryl Chessman thing, for time context.. Much of the subsequent events just runtogether in my mentation, culminating in the National Guard shooting in Berkeley downtown, on Shattuck Ave. Kent State capped it all. Those who imagine that opposition to Vietnam just 'happened' about the time of the widespread marches in '69,'70 weren't paying attention. Seems to be a lot [link\|http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/FSM.html\| here] for anyone who cares to delve into how long it used to take to awaken the body politic. Had there been a web . . .
