The [American protesters] were dressed as though they were going to a Weather Underground Days of Rage costume party. They were in jean skirts and drawstring pants, clogs, folk-art jewelry and tie-dyed tank tops-- fashions fully twenty years out of date. I wonder what my hip friends and I in the Summer of Love would have thought about people wearing zoot suit jackets and reat pleat pants with key chains dangling to the ground.
