CV 176-97 J : bo : HOFFMAN: _ DOUGLAS: a DOUGLAS: DOUGLAS: ore ‘ an) 4 " A, . 4 aan oH a flag, you know. I know I'm not as pretty as she is, but, it's a law. Oh, I don't know, I think I didn't know you were that way. You think I'm pretty I think your hair is Wow a little better done than hers (LAUGHTER). You're going to get eight letters. Yeah, I suppose I could. But, the point is that it's the mod fashion; I just saw it advertised in the New York Times; the same shirt, two weeks ago. But, it's just like pot. Everybody smokes pot doesn't get arrested, yet there were 200,000 narcotic arrests last year. You know if you're respec- table and you live uptown in New York, you Gon't get arrested. If you live down on the lower East Side, you get arrested constantly. Even if you don't smoke it, I mean. We had, three weeks ago, the cops came into an office that I use, an office that isn't even in my name; you know, I'm one of the many people that pay rent on it. Never sleep there. And they left a brown paper bag with three loaded guns, black jacks and heroin. And then they came back an hour later and arrested three guys and took the bag with them. And I went in to pay the bail on one of the guys, they arrested me. They said it's your office. I said it's not my office. It's not in my name, you know, I wasn't there. And anybody else it would have been immediately thrown out of court, You know, I mean, the lawyers are just flabber- gasted, But it's that way with all my arrests. 11
