Chicago, Illinois: Interviews with three...
Preview Cassette 221564 Chicago, Illinois: Interviews with three people talking about police tactics during 1968 Democratic Convention Riots. This is PRIOR to the convention, it seems from the context. Looks like TV news outtakes. Interview with young guy talking about preparing people to move away from police violence. He talks about a demonstration yesterday where it took only a few minutes for everyone to leave the area, thanks to extensive communication between groups (yippies and others). Vernon (perhaps Vernon Grizzard ?) ...and professor of sociology. Second man speaks. Side Peck. Moved people away to prevent violence. Police removed badges. Police don't give sufficient warning to people. I saw photographers clubbed. "It seems to me that there's enough documentation with respect to the way the Chicago Police move against crowds in a brutal way that something should be done about this..." Talks about police going into buildings after people. Reporters ask questions about who really was in the wrong, whether the demonstrators violated a curfew or possibly provoked police. One journalist says, "The military is here because of YOU..." Talks about rally in Grant Park. David Dellinger speaks, says, "... of those who have created the situation which brings demonstrators and protestors into the city. And if [we} very foolishly asked people not to come into Chicago, they would be here anyway. And the third responsibility in that case is the responsibility of the city of Chicago, which invited the Democratic Convention to take place here. And when the ruling party - a party administrating militarism and racism - when it is invited into the city for a convention, it is inevitable that people who believe in decent human values and in human life and liberty will come with the convention in order to protest... This afternoon at five o'clock, a number of our people will be protesting... the repressive machinery of this society out into the open, when they've had to turn Chicago into police state, this is the kind of thing which brings home to people how close to the surface the policy of violence and repression is in this society..."

LSD: Insight Or Insanity?
Fabulous anti-drug film of the mid-1960s; narrated by, of all people, Sal Mineo. From the program notes that come with the film: "...students must be convinced of the dangers of LSD, and the fallacy of many of the wild and false claims made for it. Only through EDUCATIONAL efforts such as this film, can these impressionable young people be made aware of the possible consequences of taking LSD, and thereby (hopefully) establish their own sense of personal responsibility." Fun stuff, especially the simulated "bad trip" sequences.
