In the neon wilderness, blue-haired ladies pull on the one-armed bandits as if they were lifelines; at the card and crap tables, aggressive customers line up like lambs for the fleecing.

But it didn't surprise me. It merely articulated the grim skepticism I ran up against in October when I tried to sell the Student Mobilization Committee's position to saddened veterans of the peace movement. Come, march once more. I had pleaded. The constellation of events is just right. If this march fails, no march...
