Chapter 24
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Dora Schmiegal sat in her nightgown at her kitchen table in her New York apartment eating a bagel and half a grapefruit and drinking a cup of tea.
A large crowd of chanting people was downstairs on the street by the front entrance to the apartment building. They had started gathering on the morning of Election Day and had swelled into the thousands through the night and early morning. Dooor-ah, Dooor-ah, Dooor-ah, they sang in unison. Periodically, Dora would go to the window, open it, lean out and wave to them. The crowd would holler itself hoarse, and then, as she shut the window, it would go back to chanting Dooor-ah, Dooor-ah, Dooor-ah! |
