...later, with about 200 arrested and hundreds injured. Elsewhere, the confrontation continued through the night. Then at 5 a.m. on Friday, with the convention ended, eleven policemen swarmed up to the McCarthy headquarters. They claimed that the volunteers had tossed smoked fish, ashtrays and beer cans at the helmeted cops below. With neither evidence nor search warrant, they clubbed McCarthy campaign workers. One cop actually broke his billy club on a volunteer's skull. Daley stood by his angry defense of his cops' conduct against the "terrorists," who, he snarled, "use the foulest of language that you wouldn...
...Jerry Rubin, 30, a former Berkeley free-speecher and now a yippie leader. To protect himself from police strong-arm tactics, Rubin hired a husky, sledge-fisted Chicagoan known as "Big Bob Lavin," whose beard and bellicosity were matched by his ability at bottle-throwing in confrontations with the cops. Big Bob was gassed by the police, fought them valiantly, but was finally clubbed into submission-carrying with him into jail Rubin's tactical diary.

...When the cops started clubbing three girls in a convertible, Chicago Daily News Reporter John Linstead protested. His reward was a beating and a scalp wound.

Hence, even before Worthington gets to recall key cameos of himself-as a boy who once foolishly stole, as a young man who was once seduced by an older woman-there are overlong, superficial ruminations and cop-out digressions on the mechanics and nature of memory itself. Finally, in due meandering course, Worthington remembers a first wife who two-timed him and a second wife who two-timed life by committing suicide. But mostly he prefers to muse about aristocratic ancestors or recall some...
Last month Robert Stewart, 21, emerged from a grocery and was challenged by two cops. "Hey, come here," commanded one, grabbing his arm. "Get yourself off this corner right now." When Stewart replied that he was there to buy canned milk, the cop spat, "Don't go getting smart." Stewart and eight witnesses claim that he was grappled into the squad car and pounded with night stick, fist and flashlight. Subsequent photos show Stewart's nose broken, eyes swollen nearly shut on a puffy face, the back of his head cratered by deep open wounds. Stewart received...
