“Yippie” leader Abbie Hoffman (1936–1989), one of defendants known as the “Chicago Seven,” testified that he resided “in the Woodstock Nation,” and that as a “cultural revolutionary,” he meant to influence “inhabitants of a new nation and a new society through art and poetry, theater, and music.” Cartoonist Jules Feiffer (b. 1929), in the courtroom, captured Hoffman’s appearance.
