In Memoriam

ABBIE HOFFMAN
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1937-1989
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Abbie Hoffman, founder of the Youth International Party, (The Yippies)
|
|||
|
|
was found dead in bed late last night. Pending an autopsy, it appears
|
|||
|
|
he died of natural causes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Abbie was perhaps the archetype of a "Sixties Radical" - a member of
|
|||
|
|
the CHICAGO SEVEN, went underground after being convicted of "selling
|
|||
|
|
cocaine" (believed by many to have been framed) and after plastic
|
|||
|
|
surgery to alter his appearance, became an environmental activist in
|
|||
|
|
upstate New York. He surfaced and served a reduced sentence, and had
|
|||
|
|
been lecturing and writing for the last few years.

His work (notably a book titled STEAL THIS BOOK) should be required
|
|||
|
|
reading for every 14-year-old.

My world just got a little darker.
