NY 100-161445 "It's wasted motion to come to a university and tell people that they ought to think. They've been told for 16 years that they ought to think, they ought to analyze, they ought to consider both sides. . "When i was young I had a course from Marcuse on Soviet Marxisn. "y can't understand his latest book. It's six dollars for 70 pages and I can't understand that at all. Men aike Marcuse, McLuhan, Maslow--who's a great humanist; he had a jot to say about Freud and where he went off the track a little--I respect them, but I don't love them. They have good minds, and they see certain things. "I respect them because they have a way of looking at society that might be correct and there may be something to learn from that. But dammit, I don't love them; they're’ not participating in the struggie, and they're not going to builc a new society. "If we just go around living our life, doing what we think is right, and working towards a humanist society, there's confrontation. “Given our political system and our economic System, there had to be a Vietnam war. In fact there's always been. You know, the Philippines, they were our colonies and all that; I don't know when this country has had a good war. "By the time this magazine comes out, we're also both going to be indicted by the Federal Government for the crime of crossing state lines with intent to riot. I have a couple trials under appeal--30 days in Washington for wearing a flag shirt, and 15 days for resisting arrest in Chicago, and a trial pending for Columbia Univera£y, and a lot of trials. The age of innocence is flying away. I have over 30 arrests--I used to get away with it a lot. Now, it's tough. They follow you around. .
