MS, on Oxford, were you there? A confrontation between Walker's men and the military was in the square, recorded by my CBC Television crew. Walker's troop formed at one end and the airborne at the other, illuminated by street lights piercing the trees. The infantry was at ease while the civilians, throwing rocks and bottles advanced across the square. Then it formed a line, fixed bayonets with a hair-raising snick-sound, advanced several steps, stopped and lunged forward their bayonets, letting out a roar. They moved forward, lunging and shouting, and the protesters drifted away. There was violence on campus and elsewhere as I mentioned earlier. It was comforting to see the 82nd with their MGs set up behind sandbags across from my little hotel the next morning. There were no rooms available so my bed was a newspaper---I think the Memphis Press-Scimitar---on the hotel floor. Nice town. I didn't have time to look for Mr. Faulkner.
