30 November

Who said that the 'Yippie' leader and anti-Vietnam war activist, Abbie Hoffman, born on 30 November 1936, was 'something akin to an American prophet'?
November 2009


It was, supposedly, President Jimmy Carter - although it's not always easy to be sure about such things when it comes to Hoffman, who once said that 'the only truth is fantasy'. He also said that 'sacred cows make the best hamburger' and 'the first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it', among much else.
