Defendant Jerry Rubin complained to Artist-Reporter Franklin McMahon that he was made to look menacing while Assistant Prosecutor Dick Schultz came out "cherubic." Judge Hoffman had a word with Marcia Danits, an artist for CBS's Chicago affiliate WBBM-TV. "He told me his wife didn't like me because I didn't draw him pretty enough.

Like his paintings, his poems are personal, full of discovery, the outpourings of an artist who seems to need to share his joy with the world. "I want to express myself with anything I can get my hands on," he says. "Whether it is words or shoes or paint...
