...idea, instead, was to pump in the gas and create enough chaos to distract anyone intent on either firing back or orchestrating a mass suicide. Perhaps those who were wavering would come...
...unmarred by dissent. It is incumbent upon students who disagree with Powell to express their displeasure. But what must be avoided is the large-scale auditory disruption that was visited upon former President Bush when he spoke at the University of Michigan in 1991. Whistleblowing and chanting with the intent of drowning out the speaker is not behavior commensurate with the status that is being extended to the Class of 1993.

In addition to providing his force with new gear, including bullet-resistant helmets, rubber bullets and spray cans of disabling gas, Williams brokered a mutual-aid pact with other Southern California cities. In the event of trouble, up to 20,000 out-of-town reinforcements could be moved...
