In the April 2nd, 2007 issue of The New Yorker, the “Talk of the Town” section features a report entitled “Bus Ride” by Raffi Khatchadourian on the bus trip from NYC to Washington, DC for the March 17 March on the Pentagon. Excerpt:
At 5:30 A.M. one recent Saturday, twenty
or so people stood huddled in the northeast corner of Union Square.
They were waiting for buses that would take them to Washington, D.C.,
for a protest at the Pentagon, timed to coincide with the fourth
anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, and, more or less, with the
fortieth anniversary of the 1967 March on the Pentagon. Among those
gathered were members of the pro-impeachment organization World Can’t
Wait (which had chartered two buses), some Revolutionary Communists,
and a contingent from Students for a Democratic Society-this final
group being remarkable because, until last year, it had been dormant
for nearly four decades.
