NOTHING SAYS LOVE LIKE A TRAIN:
Swastikas Are Painted At Adam Yauch Park In NYC -- But Kids Win The Day (BILL CHAPPELL, 11/19/16, NPR)
One day after vandals hit their playground at Brooklyn's Adam Yauch Park, kids took it back Saturday, adorning a make-believe train with hearts and flowers and replacing a message of hate with one of love. [...]Images from Saturday show the park's rightful occupiers -- kids -- playing on the equipment. Residents brought flowers and notes. A new message was chalked onto the playground's rubber mat: "Love Trumps Hate." Another said that the playground's train is a machine that stops fascists.
