Full title: Parkfield route 48. James Dean died in a car crash. It is strange that, Americans, who seem so expert in exploiting anything for monetary gain seem to have missed out on this event. The monument on the spot he died was actually put up by the Japanese.

GB. ENGLAND. London. Vanessa Redgrave, Corin Redgrave and wife at Britains biggest anti-Vietnam war demonstration ended in London with an estimated 300 arrests; 86 people were treated for injuries, and 50, including 25 policemen, one with a serious spine injury, were taken to hospital. The Guardian suggested demonstrators seemed determined to stay until they had provoked a violent response of some sort, and this intention became paramount once they entered Grosvenor Square. 1968
