Piece of university land seized by "the People", in Berkeley, CA, in May 1969. Gardens planted by anti-war protesters, and the park occupied year-round, first by hippies, and ultimately by the homeless. After trying repeatedly to evict the squatters and build new dorms, the university finally gave up and let the people who wanted to, shape the park as they please. Now safe in the daytime, but not at night. Panhandlers abound. Just 100 feet from Telegraph Ave., the other hippie remnant of the 60's and 70's in Berkeley.
I'd rather go down Telegraph than thru People's ParK right now. Too muddy!
A term Chinese government used to call reserve soldiers used to attack UN troops in Korean War. Usually farmers and low-ranker soldiers were signed up, given rifles, MGs, grenades, bombs and flags, then sent packing to Yalu River.
Gu Zidi went to enlist on People's Volunteer Army. He returned to China, blind.
the people's elbow was one of the signature moves of the rock. first he would look at the croud. then pull off his elbow pad in slow motion and throw it into the crowd. then he would run left,bounce off the ropes then over the guy on the ground, bounce off the ropes again. then he would kick his right leg up and drop his elbow ont the man's heart.
