MOVIES - July 17, 1987

A small group of anti-nuclear protesters, including actor Martin Sheen, gathered Wednesday in front of the RAND Corp.’s Santa Monica headquarters to oppose the defense industry think tank’s plan to expand its property. The event also marked the 10th day of a hunger strike by 16-year-old Coco Weinraub, a Pacific Palisades high school student who said she became an activist after seeing the film “Amazing Grace and Chuck,” which depicts a youth embarking on a similar cause.
