...Abbie Hoffman, one of the founders of the Youth International (Yippie) Party, likens Fink's recipe for peace keeping to that of a Jewish mother: "He throws a lot of chicken soup on the problem and hopes it will go away." Yippie agitators calling themselves the Workshop on Tactical Street Action have taken to trying to provoke Fink's men into breaking up their rallies...
