>Austin, Texas, turned out several thousand people (organizers

>overcast but dry weather for a rally at the Capitol. About a dozen

>Greens, University of Texas Campus Coalition for Peace and Justice,
>local church people and somebody who I think was identified as a
>socialist, although I didn't catch her name or which flavor of
>socialism. Speeches and musical interludes ran about two hours,
>which was about an hour too long, as some in the crowd began to
>chant "Less talk, let's walk!" after about an hour and a quarter.
>Then the boisterous but orderly crowd marched the mile or so down
>Congress Avenue to Town Lake on the Colorado River. No problems with
>police (at least that I saw). The only counter-demonstrators I saw
>were a couple of guys with a John Birch Society "Get US Out of the
