During an interview with Abbie and me for the CBS Evening News,
taped at his apartment, Abbie paraphrased Che Guevara and said, "I'm
prepared to win or die." However, that never got on the air. When the
reporter asked me, "What do the Yippies actually plan to do in
Chicago?" I smiled at her and said, "You think I'm gonna tell you?" That
portion of my answer was used to end Walter Cronkite's segment on the
Yippies, but my follow-up sentence-- "The first thing we're gonna do is
put truth serum in the reporters' drinks" --was omitted. They had beaten
me at my own game.

featured that flaming image. Similarly, in 2010, a street vendor in Tunisia
refused to pay a police bribe, then immolated himself, which inspired a
