Greising's story was based on the failure of a polite French delegate to

get the protesters to "reason" with him. Greising's theme was that no one can reason with people who, like the protesters, don't know what they want. In general, a play on "they're all hippie-dippies."

But Greising gets one nice item into his column: "He [ the French delegate] stopped to watch as a woman in a yellow slicker and purple sweat pants [real relevant, huh?] directed the human wall while dancing and chanting atop a white mini--van. 'Shake your booty to the left, shake your booty to the right, hook your elbows and hold the line,' she sang out."
