Cartoonist Jules Feiffer (b. 1929) matched incisive sketches of the Chicago Seven trial’s personages with ironic and iconic statements from the proceedings, some of which were provided by defendant Abbie Hoffman (1936–1989). Pictured here are Hoffman, slouched over, defense attorney Leonard Weinglass (1933–2011), at left, and Judge Julius Hoffman (1895–1983), who charged Weinglass and his colleague William Kunstler (1919–1995) with contempt.
