1960s leader dies at age 56 after jaywalking accident
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Yipple-turned yuppie Jerry Rubin was a merry master of political theater. He mocked a judge by wearing a judicial robe to court, appeared before a congressional committee in Revolutionary War costume and showed up at protests shirtless, wearing an Uncle Sam hat and toting a tow M-16.
Rubin died Monday at age 56, two weeks after he was hit by a car while crossing a street. He never regained consciousness after the accident.
His former wife, Mimi Leonard Fleischman, acknowledged that his death came with a final act of non-conformity — iavalkway.
The son of a Cincinnati truck driver turned union official, Rubin was catapulted to fame during the anti-Vietnam war protests of the 1960s. Along with Abbie Hoffman, Paul Krassner and other radicals, Rubin founded the Youth International Party, or Yippie movement, dedicated to disrupting the system.
In 1968, he was one of eight defendants who went on trial on charges of conspiring to incite rioting during the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago.
Black Panther leader Bobby Seale, after being bound and gagged in the courtroom, was tried separately, so
"He was a great life force, full of spunk, courage and wit," said state Sen. Tom Hayden, a co-defendant in the Chicago Seven trial.
the defendants became known as the Chicago Seven. Rubin and four others were convicted, but the convictions were overturned on appeal.
During a House Un-American Activities Committee investigation into the anti-war movement, Rubin showed up in a Revolutionary War costume, with a three-cornered hat.
"He was a kind of Paul Revere calling attention to the war in Vietnam," Krassner said from New York. "It was a cultural civil war."
During the 1970s, the bearded Yippie radical evolved into a tailored, clean-shaven young urban professional, writing the book "Growing (Up) at 37," in 1976.
After the Chicago Seven trial, Rubin wrote a political autobiography called "Do It! Scenarios of the Revolution," which became a best seller.
In the 1880s he became known for organizing networking parties that attracted thousands of people to the Palladium nightclub in New York on Tuesday nights. During that period he confronted Hoffman, his former sidekick and a lifelong radical, in a series of Yuppie vs. Yippie debates held around the country.
Grand Ayatollah of Shiite Muslims dies in hospital
NICOSIA, Cyprus — The Grand Ayatollah Ali Araki, supreme leader of the world's 100 million Shiite Muslims, died yesterday at a Tehran hospital, Iranian radio reported. He was at least 100 years old.
The Associated Press
Araki was designated the marja ala, or supreme leader, of Shiite Muslims around the world last year, after the death in quick succession of two other supreme leaders of the sect.
Even before Araki's death, Iran was trying to influence the selection of his successor in an attempt to enforce its own version of militant Islam.
Araki's exact age was unknown, since birth records did not exist at the time of his birth. He possibly was as old as 106.
He had lived and taught in the Iranian city of Qom, the center of Shifte learning, for most of his life.
As spiritual leader of the world's Shiites, Araki was regarded as the supreme spiritual force. In theory, he had the last word on all matters pertaining to the sect.
Movie brings out vampire in boyfriend
SAN FRANCISCO — A woman says her boyfriend stabbed her and drank her blood two days after they saw the movie "Interview With the Vampire."
The Associated Press
Daniel Sterling, 25, was jailed on attempted murder charges in the attack on Lisa Stellwagen, who suffered seven stab wounds in the chest and back.
Stellwagen, 23, said the couple saw the vampire movie Nov. 7, and the next
morning she woke up and found Sterling staring at her.
"I'm going to kill you and drink your blood," he said.
She said she asked him what was wrong.
The next day, Sterling stabbed her in their bed, police said.
"I was influenced by the movie," Sterling said in a jail interview. "I enjoyed the movie. But I cannot sit here and blame the movie."
