...researched by Claire Barnett, all of whom have firm ideas about what Nader should level his sights on next. For Doerner, who stands 6 ft. 5½ in., the big issue is "the enormous conspiracy against tall people. I can't ride in the back seat of any car, I can't find clothes to fit, and shaving mirrors always seem to be fixed at the level of my belt. It's a plot to keep us unclad and bedraggled."

The day they didn't send Hucy to the chair, two cops, armed, on duty, in a marked police car, drove by the Oakland Panther office and fired fifteen shells into the building. No one was hurt and so the cops were told to watch their timing. Every Panther paper shows pictures of another Panther office raided and destroyed by the law. Des Moines, Seattle. New York.
