C CONFIDKNTIAL O WY 100-161445 "All this is quite heartening and one realizes how deep the movement is cutting into the American system when protest at this level of intensity from professionals begins evolving. . "Doctors are not the only group of professionals in rebellion. Young militant lawyers are willing to confront the system in new more dramatic ways. Gus Reischback, a law student, was recently brought before 8 tribunal of professors at Columbia University Law School facing suspension for his role in the strike. His fellow students broke up the tribunal and drove the inquisitors from their bench. They installed a people's court and tried the. judges instead. My attorney, twenty-seven year old Jerry Lefcourt, 4s typical of the new breed. His attitude is totally political. — His arguments in court are given more consideration for their propaganda value than for just freeing the client. His clients | who include the New York Panthers and Columbia SDS students would have it no other way. The old ACLU attitude of dress nice, _ keep your mouth shut and be reasonable is not only missing from _ the repertory of these new lawyers, it is in fact, scorned." The March 19, 1969 issue of "The Realist” magazine published monthly in New York City, and edited by PAUL KRASSNER on pages one through two containa an article by the subject under the heading "The Last Letters of Che Guevara" wherein the subject was parportedly writing his versions of "Che Guevara's Final Communication.

Demp, shivering, cold, temporarily dejected over recent military setbacks. We are somewhere in the jungles of Bolivia surrounded by the enemy, cut off from all supplies. Struggling against immense odds. “Surely the destiny of man was to lift himself out of the jungle. Out of an economic system that forced him to behave like a beast of prey. Out of a corresponding socio-religious | system that cherished money and greed and hatred and inmmanity. . 65 - CONFIDERTIAL mm 8 —.
