Anti-China demonstrators pursued the Olympic flame from London to Paris yesterday and took up positions in San Francisco ahead of tomorrow's torch relay across the Golden Gate Bridge, forcing officials in the U.S. and Europe to scramble for balance between the Olympic spirit and the right to free speech.
