It is hard to imagine that forty-four years have passed since student Mario Savio led the Free Speech Movement on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley. Thousands of students battled police in an effort to force the administration to lift the ban on on-campus political activities.
Yesterday I saw these three lone Peaceniks (I consider myself one), sitting motionless on the University lawn, while children played in the background. (From their posture I assume that they may be Buddhists.) Have Americans moved from the Frontlines to the Mall?
And, once again, while involved, as my words indicate, I ask you to view this picture primarily as an artistic attempt, rather than a political message.
