ST. PAUL, Minn. - A 73-year-old retired surgeon marching in silence with a tombstone picturing a soldier killed in Iraq. A philosophy professor calling for a new investigation into the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. A long-haul trucker from Texas protesting the price of oil.
Those are just a few of the images that demonstrators hope will capture the attention of delegates, journalists and others attending the Republican National Convention. Tens of thousands - from anarchists and immigrants to advocates for the poor - plan to use the streets outside the Xcel Center as a national podium, transforming downtown St. Paul into a marketplace of ideas.
