Adam Panflick: The Boston Car Wars (1980s): ""People of Boston!" he cried, "Look at this!" He waved at the sea of honking cars backed up to Massachusetts Avenue and beyond. "The legacy of Henry Ford who came from a place where they stripped bark from trees to save themselves the labor of chopping them down. You are all pusillanimous conformistos. Enemies of the future!"
Adam paused take in a great gulp of air. "Down with the car!" he cried, raising his fists. "Everybody now! Down with the car! Down with the car!"
The limo was sagging perceptibly beneath the weight of our formidable agitator. An officer groped for Panflick's ankle but Adam did an elusive dance."
