[From _The Chimes of Freedom Flashing: A Personal History of the Vietnam Anti-war Movement and the 1960s_, by Caleb S. Rossiter:]
The November 15, 1969, "Mobe" - the New Mobilization to End the War - was the Movement's high noon ....
Right before the tear gas came [aimed at antiwar protestors outside the Justice Department in Washington, DC] we were standing under the balcony on which Attorney General John Mitchell, his wife Martha, and a number of aides were visible. With unbridled delight at getting a chance to communicate with one of the enemy - Nixon was spending a restful afternoon in the White House watching football - we screamed "Fuck you Mitchell, fuck you Mitchell," and threw at him whatever debris we could find. He looked down calmly from the railing, which was far too high for our missiles, holding his pipe, and with great deliberation gave us the finger right back. His wife said later that the scene below her looked like old newsreels of the Russian revolution.
