[Chewbacca]

By the way a Judge here ruled just last week that the protest zone was necessary for security despite the fact that it seemed contrary to the ideals of free assembly. I forget the exact wording but something like "deplorable but neseccary". His ruling applied to this one particular protest zone in Boston, not all of them in general. Regardless the Boston Common, govenrment Center and many other locales have had lage peaceful demonstrations all week. A minor tussle occured last Sunday between anti-abortionists and anti-War folk on Beacon st. but thats been the only drama so far.

Aside- I have never seen more cops in one city in my entire life. They are everywhere in mass quanities all over Boston! Security, so far, has been top notch and effective. Even traffick isnt that bad considering the busiest interstate in town is closed for something like six miles either way out of town.
