“The demands have not shifted in two years, the
speakers have gotten considerably worse, and the music has
taken a downward trend. Peter, Paul and Mitch (Mitch Miller)
leading sing-a-longs (follow the bouncing Mitch) does not
exactly convey the idea of cultural revolution.
"Seeing the Rolling Stones bang it out at the
Amphitheater in Cnicago the next night was more intense
than the Washington Rally. There were also more fists
flying in the air and one got the feeling that the revolution
would come from the screechers at the Stones concert before
it resounded from the ranks of the Mobe. Its dignity had
earned it back the ‘e' which hopefully it had lost at the
Pentagon and in the streets of Chicago,
"Tt also made it easier for them to forget and
abandon two of its own officials, Dave Dellinger and Rennie
Davis, on trial for conspiracy in Chicago.
"Dellinger and Davis could be forgotten. Why
not. Now the Mobe was on friendly terms with the Crematorium
of Moritarium or whatever it is.
“The Moratorium is nothing more or less than a
front for a ‘Mogovernment',-~a campaign for George McGovern
for President in 1972. MTneir officers -- both the Mobe and
the Moratorium--have an unhealthy look of permanence, sort
of like a massive anti-war business, 'PEACE, INC,'
"Saturday morning, just hours before the March,
saw BO much mixing of people ‘from the Hill' (as politicians
and their flunkies are called in Washington) in the Mobe's
Moratorium offices that it looked less like working from
within amd more like being within the within.
