The demonstration will begin at 8 a.m. when the gates of Berkeley's Hearst Greek Theatre, on Gayley Road at the east end of the UC campus, open for the ceremony.

Does anyone else?

13. While it is disheartening, even here on DU, to see how few views this gets,

and to see the Mods block this from the HOME page video listings,
I do take solace from the Washington Post article the day Watergate hearings started,
