I found this from MSNBC:
Actor Richard Gere spoke briefly, saying we needed to be
healed and music
showed us the way. Later, in a plea for
compassion and
understanding, Gere was booed by many in
the audience.
from the LA Times:
In the spirit of New York, it was not without discord:
boos greeted actor Richard Gere
when he called for
"love, compassion and
understanding."
Acknowledging the reception on a
night when other
speakers taunted Bin Laden, Gere,
a Buddhist, said,
"That's apparently unpopular now,
but that's OK."
from the Guardian (London):
Poor old Richard Gere got heavily booed when he dared to hint that
bombing dust
and rocks was perhaps not a very good idea.
