I received a phone call from a woman I didn't know in Vancouver, BC asking, "what are you doing about Amchitka?"  Well, what some of us in Anchorage did was to demonstrate against the blast on a day that President Nixon was in town.  This took place downtown on Fourth Avenue.  The city called out its riot police in their pastel blue helmets and others pointed guns at us from the top of a building across the street.  We had hoped to let Nixon know what our concerns were, but his vehicle and the press buses zoomed past on their way to Wally Hickle's house.  Later discovered that this was the event that led to the birth of Greenpeace.
