1960s. First, part of a 1969 abc report about the impact the massive crowd had on the small new york town known as bethel. Last night the traffic was immense, but somehow between dark and dawn when the music finally stopped, they disappeared across the country. Although thousands remained on tre the rented 600acre dairy farm pitching in on cleanup detail or just waiting out the crowd. Its nestled in the heart of the catskills. The biggest town nearby is monticello. The townspeople were terrified at the prospect of the hippy arrival. Before it was over something happened in monticello.

But this is how he looked yesterday after paramedics pulled him out of the shattered glass of a neighboring store, flung there after being hit by a car allegedly driven by a woman whose son just had a haircut. Martin says she came back and showed him a scratch on her sons neck and began cursing. Martin says he apologized but her son had been squirming in the chair. He talked with us by phone in his hospital bed. She goes outside and starts kicking my door. She watched them climb into her car.
