Hmm, more up-to-date, entrepreneurial conduct than what the Yippies showed at the same location in '68 :) Viz.:From: "Devine, James" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If anyone wants to buy duct-tape, I'll be at Grand Central Station in NYC under the big clock at noon on Saturday. I expect to be able to sell it at about four times the going rate in California... ;-)
"As would eventually happen in Chicago, the [anti-war] Grand Central Yip-In [in February 1968] was a police riot. The celebration started off innocently enough. From 11 p.m. until about 1 a.m., an estimated six thousand tie-dyed, tangle-haired hippies poured into Grand Central Station from all imaginable directions, emerging from both the streets above and the subways below. The hippies carried balloons and noise-makers, guitars and bells and flutes, joints and incense. They sang songs and chanted and danced and packed the Station to the hilt with energy. By quarter after twelve, a group of youths had climbed up on the Station's information desk and began to play with the arms of the booth's four clocks. Not able to resist the temptation to, as Voice reporter McNeill described it, 'rape time,' they tore the arms off in defiance."
