    I saw a bunch of hippies walking along Washington St. yesterday…

    I didn’t know what to make of it.

    Have fun at your hippy party today.

    The march’s greatest accomplishments include: the largest such event here since Kent State; the NY TIMES coverage; Veterans For Peace national president Elliott Adams’ attendance; the good overall local media coverage; the VA’s
    Watertown Vet Center joining us; the many part-
