...Huff. Denied the possibility of throwing a wrench in the Republicans' clockwork organization by blocking all entrances to the hall, the demonstrators milled about in the streets, slashing tires, abusing more arriving delegates and breaking a few windows. Al Hubbard, a V.V.A.W. leader, walked off in a huff. "If trashing is the thing, if assaulting delegates is the thing, then we will have no part of it." The Miami Beach, county and state police forces who cracked scarcely a skull all the long week in a masterly display of restraint and cool, finally drove the protesters from the convention...
...Milwaukee. Saw "Clockwork Orange" and thought about getting Wallace all thru the picture. Fantasing myself as the Alek but without "my brothers." Just "a little of the old ultra violence."

Poorly acted, except by Malcolm McDowell, and directed with leering touches. SACK 57: 10, 12:20, 2:40, 5, 7:30, 10. Sunday...
