ABBOTT HOWARD HOFFMAN The November, 1970, edition of "Stereo Review," a ; monthly publication on stereo music and sound equipment pub- é lished at New York, contained an article entitled, "Rex Reed talks to the Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick," on Pages 70 through 78, This article is in an interview form with Grace Slick talking to the writer, Rex Reed. On Page 75 of this article she is quoted as stating the following: ‘} "tT hated all those rich debutantes at Finch," she says. ‘What a wierd scene. Tricia Nixon is a good example of what they turn out. I was invited to her birthday party at the White House, They sent out these little engraved invitations to the alumni and accepted unbiasedly the first ones who responded, So I called Abbie Hoffman, and he slicked down his hair and put on a blue suit. He looked liké a karate-chopping pimp. It was a gas. So we showed up at the White House and got thrown out as "security risks." Boy, were they right, because I had 600 micromilligrams of LSD in my purse that we were going to put into the tea. Can you hear them now?

The security guards were criticized in the press, People wrote, “How ridiculous - not letting someone in because she's a rock singer."

Far out. I figure if they can shoot us down, we can get them high, right?'" r hank liithe mitten dh Ditteeeetenl a Sd ¢ contains neither This Coe etions nor cone of the ‘PBI and tt and ite contents sre distributed outside your SSe57- 2x
