I was on the early shift at a Minneapolis TV station, on my way home, and heard the news on the car radio. I turned around and asked the news director to give me a camera and let me get in before the roadblocks. He said it was just an AIM stunt and would be over before I got there. I had finished reading Brown's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" just two weeks before.
