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.
