Gain."
Dusk off the Foreland--the last light going
And the traffic crowding through,
And five damned trawlers with their syreens blowing

"No more mines remain.

Thousands of Communists, protected by the police, marched
down to Union Square, located in the very heart of San Fran-
cisco. The Communist City Hall riots in 1960 had presented

Thousands of Communists marched right into the heart of
San Francisco, and Communist speakers incited ...Read more of this...

It were glad of a breath of fresh air.
They followed the sound as it went sniffing round,
'Til at last they located the leak,
