Rare Hearts

In 1968 a Chicago federal grand jury indicted David Dellinger, Rennie Davis, Tom Hayden, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Lee Weiner, John Froines, and Bobby Seale for several offenses, including conspiracy to cross state lines with the intent to incite a riot. These ‘Chicago 8’ became co-defendants in one of America’s most spectacular criminal trials. […] “What a scene it must have been,” defendant Tom Hayden later recalled. “Eight madmen in bright clothes passing notes, climbing over the table, whispering, laughing, arguing over the appearance of the jurors. We were judging them, putting them down, shaking our heads, looking sharply at them, yet we were the ones on trial.” (CRF-USA)

Beginning as the Chicago Eight Trial, it quickly became the Chicago Seven when Seale, after loudly disrupting the trial when he could not have the lawyer of his choice, was at first bound and gagged in the courtroom and then severed from the case for a later trial, which never occurred.

Legends of the Fall

The fact that I am madly in love with Tristan Ludlow proves that I have issues, right??

You couldn’t be happy if it meant being cruel. If we act any other way I’ll be making you act against what I love in you most. And I can’t go back to that way of thinking. Don’t you see? I can’t love you unless I give you up.

The real loneliness is living among all these kind people who only ask you to pretend.

Why is it when men play they always play at killing each other?
