Apollo 12 entered a stormy Cape Kennedy ascent with Yankee Clipper intact and Intrepid ready.

Huge Rally Ends Three Day Protest in Washington
In Washington, antiwar demonstrators marching from Arlington National Cemetery to the Capitol faced light police restraint and heavy rain. About 2,000 protesters, including groups opposing the Chicago trial, witnessed a tense confrontation near the Justice Department. A 4.2 mile procession ended with peacenik coffins bearing fallen servicemen, as Marines fortified the Capitol and Nixon remained at Cape Kennedy. Elsewhere, smaller antiwar actions occurred, with Stanford and LSU protests noted. A separate Western Washington State College homecoming queen pig act closes the record.
