about and wanted to get everybody to move along. The police straightened them out. Up at the top of the station entrance, I am particularly grateful that the police were able to disperse two groups of protesters who were there to ruin this grand opening. One group was the flagmen strikers, still not at work
after all these weeks. The other group was angry subway riders there to protest the three-day wedding between the daughter of a Texas oil pipe baron and the son of a Saudi Sheik who tied the knot there. We had given adequate warning that the subway would be closed during those three days. But some apparently did not get the message and found alternate means to get to work only after finding the subway closed. The only hitch that took place at this exclusive party at the western end of the Southampton platform on that afternoon, was with the red carpet that had been placed over the down escalator to soften the arrival of all the celebrities. After everyone was assembled down on the platform, and after the speeches made by Ms. Clinton and Mr. Huckabee were amplified so they could be heard over the objections of the subway riders, someone apparently turned on the down escalator, which had been turned off when the red carpet was placed over it. The escalator pushed the red carpet down and ate it, and it is currently out of service as workmen poke around in its innards looking to remove the remains of it from the gears of the escalator. Fortunately, at the end of the ride, our dignitaries were able to ride the UP escalator • without a problem.
