A Day at THE SPEECHES:

FANEUIL HALL, SEPTEMBER 25

Local politicos insulted the incumbent President for an hour and a half while the main event was caught in a Boston tunnel. Elvis finally hit the stage--to the applause of a thoroughly partisan crowd--and preached the gospel of the liberal Northeast to a crowd of the converted. His plan for a domestic Peace Corps, in particular, pleased the thousands of college students holding white and blue Clinton banners. The Man left the scene to enthusiastic cheers and a mix of soul and rock music which had the crowd clapping and swaying. It's unclear, though, whether this man (lower left) held his ears due to his proximity to a loudspeaker or for more philosophical reasons.
