LETTERS, Page 5Abbie Hoffman's Legacy
I remember Abbie Hoffman from his work Steal This Book, which
I first read in the '70s (NATION, April 24). A classmate had
brought the book to school, and a friend of mine stole it. A few
years later, I lifted the work from my friend. And after two years,
someone took it from me. Hoffman may be gone, but his beliefs will
be passed on from one generation to the next. Just like that little
book.
Ford Robin Dolin
Philadelphia
The death of Hoffman and the symbolic end of a pernicious era
in America must be greeted with relief. That an anarchist
revolutionary like Hoffman could have achieved such notoriety
typifies what was wrong with his generation. He was the kind of
person you warned your kids about.
