The June 5, 1972, issue of "The Miami nerald", /
a regular legitimate Miawi, Florida, newspaper, reflecte
an article captioned, "Curse Ends Rubin Debate”. The
article refiected that a Miami Beach attorney, Ellis Aubin,
had stalked out of a debate with Yippie leader Jer Rubin
held on Sunday night, June 4, 1972, when. a four-létter word |
was used. The debate concerned the possible demonstrations
in Miami Beach this summer and Rubin promised peaceful
demonstrations if “we are treated like human beings". The
article indicated that the Rubins launched personal attacks
on each other, with Jerry Rubin calling the lawyer “my Uncle
Ellis" and saying he was ashamed of his "relative". The
article also contained the following:
“Ellis Rubin read frequently from Jerry's
book, ‘Do Itt', charging that the book's rhetoric
was proof that the ‘hippie, yippie, zippie, and
creepie' demonstrators intend to cause violence
in Miami Beach.
"The lawyer protested when it was announced
that debate proceeds--at $1 per person--would
go to the ‘Sunshine Committee’, a Miami group
raising funds to provide demonstrators with food
and seeking to ease any tensions between Dade
residents and visitors to the wed
“H her, Sunshine leaders Gerald Engle and
Ma ilynrAdams said $50 of the receipts would go ;
to Ellis Rubin as a speaker's fee."
