"All this is quite heartening and one realizes how
deep the movement is cutting into the American system when protest
at this level of intensity from professionals begins evolving. .
"Doctors are not the only group of professionals in
rebellion. Young militant lawyers are willing to confront the
system in new more dramatic ways. Gus Reischback, a law student,
was recently brought before 8 tribunal of professors at Columbia
University Law School facing suspension for his role in the strike.
His fellow students broke up the tribunal and drove the inquisitors
from their bench. They installed a people's court and tried the.
judges instead. My attorney, twenty-seven year old Jerry Lefcourt,
4s typical of the new breed. His attitude is totally political. —
His arguments in court are given more consideration for their
propaganda value than for just freeing the client. His clients |
who include the New York Panthers and Columbia SDS students would
have it no other way. The old ACLU attitude of dress nice, _
keep your mouth shut and be reasonable is not only missing from
_ the repertory of these new lawyers, it is in fact, scorned."
The March 19, 1969 issue of "The Realist” magazine
published monthly in New York City, and edited by PAUL KRASSNER
on pages one through two containa an article by the subject
under the heading "The Last Letters of Che Guevara" wherein the
subject was parportedly writing his versions of "Che Guevara's
Final Communication.
In this article the subject stated in pert as follows:
“fo the Youth of the United States:
"Tl write to you huddled in blankets. Demp, shivering,
cold, temporarily dejected over recent military setbacks. We
are somewhere in the jungles of Bolivia surrounded by the enemy,
cut off from all supplies. Struggling against immense odds.
“Surely the destiny of man was to lift himself out of
the jungle. Out of an economic system that forced him to behave
like a beast of prey. Out of a corresponding socio-religious |
system that cherished money and greed and hatred and inmmanity.
