...spectacular standout is David McClelland's "Great Game of Absolution and Redemption," a satire on, of all things, Calvinism-a highly successful satire which not so long ago would have gotten him dunked in every pond in Massachusetts.

Under the flags stood Boston's most faithful counterdemonstrators, the Polish Freedom Fighters, brandishing a "Bomb Hanoi" placard. One of them, who gave his name as Cliff Arneson and said he had just gotten out of the service, mounted an overturned trash can and began haranguing people about the necessity to fight in Vietnam "to preserve our freedom and theirs...
