Hoffman, author of Steal This Book, which many booksellers
stopped selling since shoppers tended to steal it, and Jerry
Rubin, leader of the Yippies, who lead a march on the

few errors, such as the Friday night when there was a power
failure and we were left with only the Shabbos candles. Not
knowing if it was permitted to use them for light (!) we went
