Let's Really Get Nostalgic - 1966 Demo




The newspaper's date is June 24, 1966.

The place, in front of the northern entrance to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

The event is a demonstration by Betar, protesting the sale of Hawk missiles to Saudi Arabia on the occasion of the visit of Faisal (which one, I can't recall, there being so many).

I, standing, am being interviewed and next to me, starting with the young man at my feet are:

Danny Epstein, Sarah Rosenberg, Miriam Rosen, Mella Polachek, J.J. Gross, David Skolnik and, just by a nose, Chuck Waxman.

I am pretty sure this was the first demo I was in charge of.
