MIKE: |
Jerry, when you
were at College, who
was your political
hero? |
JERRY: |
I graduated in
1963, I was middle-of-the-road
and all American, so
who do you think it
was? |
MIKE: |
It must have been
JFK. And I suppose
the villains were
Castro and Kruschov. |
JERRY: |
You've guessed it.
The Cuban missile
crisis and Kennedy's
assassination only
served to confirm my
views. How about you? |
MIKE: |
My family are
either apolitical or
radical non-conformists.
Non-conformism suits
me
—
permanent dissent. |
JERRY: |
Well, if you had
asked me about my
views in the late
sixties... 1968 was
a watershed for so
many reasons. |
