    go look for the book written by his friend Abbie Hoffman DO IT ! it is an absolute HIP MUST-READ !! I found a copy of it in a thrift shop for dimes.
    'steal this book' which is a manual of Yippie urban survival. i almost stole that from the library when i found it. "The autobiography of Abbie Hoffman", 1980 , is probably what you want to read this summer together with Do It !

    DO it! is a great book!!! I have every book Abbie wrote. It's a shame Jerry Rubin didn't write more than Do It!

    I would be interested in running down some of the movies the yippies made and took on tour. Does anybody know where they might be found? Also, I guess I lied when I said I had ALL of his books. I can't find a hard copy of "fuck the system". Here's a link to the text.. http://www.scribd.com/DIzzIE/d/126757-Fuck-the-System
