“talk to the press. That none of them would talk to the press--
that was cool. Soon as the jury decision was in, eleven of the
jurors went back to the Palmer House Hotel to get their belongings
and Miss Kay Richards was driven to another hotel at which for
five straight days she gave her whole testimony about what went

nts,
she's on television shows all around America. Miss Kay Richards,
just like us. Miss Kay Richards says that it was interesting
serving on the jury--it was the first time she'd met a Negro."
(Laughter from the audience, and someone asked "What's that?"
Hoffman continues.) "I don't know, ask her,
"Well, so there are in conflict two nations. You may
say well, it's all going to fall apart anyway, just like t
Roman Empire, the Babylonian, and all the other empires in history.
It's.just gonna sink into the mud. That's the hippie attitude.
We're just gonna pull off and do our thing and the card table,
card house is going to come crumbling down. Well, I'll tell you
it's falling right on our fuckin heads. We're like two trains
running and they were going full speed right in that courthouse;
just like that on the same track. And I'll tell you, if we don't
figure out how to derail that other fuckin train before it's
to taks us with it." (Light clapping)
