Outside the entrance to the MTA, the Men's Auxiliary of the Women's Liberation Front sought signatures in support of its proposed march to the Sigmund Freud Obelisk in Vienna, Austria on January 10, 1970.

By coincidence or something, the date of the Mexico opening was the only one that was not determined by the company astrologer. All other openings have been determined by the stars and planets, and all were financial successes. Even history could not stand in the way of Astrologer Marya Crumere's choice of this week...
