I was in Madison from 68-74. Missed the Dow demo, but those years were
interesting. I can tell you what I remember. What are you writing the
article for?

For a study of the Dow Chemical riots and the Madison protest scene in the
1960's, don't forget to take a look at the documentary film, THE WAR AT
HOME. The movie does an excellent job of showing just how widespread the
resistance to the War in Vietnam was. Lots of short hairs and obvious
bourgeois types even.
