UPDATE: The weather here has turned nasty and there may be snow on the ground by tomorrow, but the hippies are still crowding into town. I’ve seen large groups of them wandering the streets with their handlers for two or three days now.

Two I talked to this morning were attending a conference on how to effectively protest. They were looking for a barber – sheesh, who’d have guessed a hippie would need a haircut to protest. the weather may make many stay in their cozy hotel rooms (paid for by their parents) or in the countless coffee shops on Pennsylvania Ave.

And the Washington Post takes a nostalgic look back 40 years. Of course they mention the veterans that will be with the smelly hippies, but not a word about the Gathering of Eagles.
