Moon festival at Yankee Stadium disrupted by smoke bombs
At Yankee Stadium the Bicentennial God Bless America Festival led by Rev. Sun Myung Moon drew about 25 000 attendees, far short of the 55 000 hoped, as hundreds of teenagers used smoke bombs and fought. Moon spoke in Korean with English translation while followers distributed literature and flags. Protests outside included parents and opponents accusing Moonies of brainwashing youths.
