Abbott Howard Hof tment: > Nicholas Johns ons Yeah....well, it's very amusing actually. I....we talked about your experience on Merv Griffin, I don't know, Did that get on over the air? Apbie Hoffman: Yeah. (unintelligible) Nicholas Johnson: Well, no I had (unintelligible). I mean the thought of blanking your face out because of your American Flag Shirt, you see, and then I think it was on the same program wasn't it that Roy Rogers and Dale Evana dressed up in American * Flags? Abbie Hoffman: . Yeah, well it was the Hollywood Playhouse about two weeks before. ; Nicholas Johnson: (unintelligible) consistency there (unintelligible) that's not the first time that happens, you know. It's a4 (unintelligible) story about ABC Sports in the Buffaio Holy Cross Game, They had a half time, they were gonna sing some songs about peace and ABC Sports decided that that was 80 controversial &@ subject that they really shouldn't televise that half time. And then about two weeks later at the,Amy Navy Game they tried it out with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to give us our little pep talk on behalf of war and concluded that that wasn't controversial at ali. So these...these inconsistencies have existed before. But in any ‘event on.the Merv Griffin Show that you saw,what you didn't see was, in‘my judgement the best part of the show,a little after you got into ununtelligible) to @ couple commercials and (unintelligible) about question you recall about the... you know what's the most important thing in the world and what do you think about it or some specific question like that,and so it came my turn and I said it seemed to me the most important thing was those two commercials and what television commercials are doing messing over the heads of the American -8.
