CAVETT: What do radicals live on when they are radicalizins
and where do you get your income?
RENNIE DAVIS: Most of us get our money from people who
support our work, but there is little of it and no life
style attached to it. Generally get money out of speaking
or contributions from people who support the kind of vision
we strive to work for.
JERRY RUBIN: Commented he sen money from stealing. The
rich get their money from owing the natural resources
of our world - the real question should be where the rich
get their money.
ABBIE HOFFMAN: During and after the trial we got alot
of money giving speeches, writing bookssalmost all the
money was absorbed into the trial but the IRS did investigate,
at least against me,and assessed me for money tnat was donated
for the trial. The IRS was definitely used by the Nixon
Administration to fight protest movement.
CAVETT: What if a kid gets hold of some of your old rheotoric
and says I'm going to throw a bomb into a munitious plant, what
would you tell him?
ABBIE HOFFMAN: Used "never met a man who was corrupted by a
book or anything". The use of bombs at that particular ywenent
will be the correct method - I think tactics of struggle are
decided by the people who engage in struggle and if they're
good the tactics will fit - hard to judge tactics ~ the act
would have to be tied to some goal, why was the person doing
it and everything.
TOM HAYDEN: I can understand the spirit of the person but
I don't think it would be the most effective thing to do
right now because what you really have to do is blow up
what is in peoples heads that keeps them from seeing what is
going on.
