The document does not contain direct references to Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell on this specific page.

At our counter-convention we all attended an Unbirthday Party for
President Lyndon Johnson at the Coliseum, with Ed Sanders, leader of the
Fugs, serving as emcee. The atmosphere was highly emotional. Dick
Gregory recited the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence with
credible fervor. Fists were being upraised in the audience as he spoke,
and I thrust my own fist into the air for the first time.

When my marriage broke up in 1971 I moved to San Francisco and I
had my own talk program. Gregory announced on my show that, until the
war in Vietnam was over, he was going to stop eating solid foods. I in turn
announced that, until the war was over, I was going to eat all of Dick
Gregory's meals. Actually, my only real discipline was being silent one day
a week.
