( Abbott Howard Hoffman Abbie Hoffman: This is unrehearsed television..... gack Anderson: Abbie Hoffman: Well, welcome to New York and "Free Time" Jack. You know one thing that's always intrigued me is every Sunday night I join perhaps 30, 40 million Americans and tuning on the television set and watching a prime time hour propaganda exploitation film done by Warner Brothers with the cooperation and consent of the FBI glorifying our secret police, I commented to some Russians about this about a month ago and they said not even in Russia does the NKVD get an hour prime time. Is this an unusual thing about the American character that we glorify an organization like the FBI? Jack Anderson: Well, this ay/the model _ for the nation. All FBI agents look like Efrepsi Zimbalist Jr. and that's why they're able to infiltrate the Mafia because you can't tell them when they're coming you know, They-two FBI agents-short sideburns, clean cut, they're always in disguise, You never know what.... as I say they all look like Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and uh..... Abbie Hoffman: How much is the character of the FBI agen particular and the agency in general moid the ship Mr. Hoover? Jack Anderaon: They're all cast in the image that he wants. They all dress alike. They all look alike. They all have to be in bed by 2:00 o'clock, They..uh...if they get involved in a shoot out, as one of then did over here _at Kennedy aa — =—— Cae ts Rete newt a International not long ag0, they better have their coats on this way-if they take their coats off, as this felle did when he shot the hijacker. Hoover saw the picture in the paper the following morning reprimanded him for taking his coat off. -3-
