"On May 20, 1969, National Guard helicopters flew over the University of California, Berkeley campus, dispensing airborne tear gas that winds dispersed over the entire city, sending school children miles away to hospitals. This was one of the largest deployments of tear gas during the Vietnam era protests. It had not yet been banned from warfare under the Chemical Weapons Convention."--Sholem Stein |
