HOWARD MILLER:
ABBIE HOFFMAN:
Well, there, there are ah, ah,
society, ah, power structure
maintains itself in power by
using a variety of techniques,
sometimes the courts and sometines
the manipulation of certain kinds
of language imagapy:; for example,
4f I say to you the word crime,
you don't think of a statistical,
you know survey the way that
RAMSEY CLARK wrote about in crise
in America. For example, he points
out that the Board of Elect, Board of
ah,Trustees of General Electric were
involved and indicted on the price
fixing scheme in 1967, which robbed
the American public of more money
than all the armed robberies, ~- .
burglaries, muggings put together;
but when I say the word crime or
more particularly when you say it,
ah people flash on a, on a young
black guy with a gun coming out
from behind the bushes, you know,
holding up a middle aged white
couple. That's what we see. So,
so its certain, you know, it's not
in the interest of the power structure,
it's not in the interest of the
“Chicago Tribune" or ABC Television
that people have in their mind when
they hear the word crime, the Board
of Electric, ah General, ah Board
of Directors of General Electric
or bank, you know banker....
But isn‘t it delightful ABBIE, don't
you have to admit that under our
system of jurisprudence and law
that those men....
But did you understand what Iwas ~ ~-
saying....
