Looking for a job? Follow in Abbie's footsteps

Abbie Hoffman was six years underground. Facing 15 years to life for arranging the sale of three pounds of cocaine to undercover cops, he skipped bail and went underground. He settled in Fineview, New York, on the St. Lawrence River, and in 1976 he took the name Barry Freed, becoming the respected leader of the Save the River movement, which successfully opposed a dredging project. His environmental work was cited by 400 luminaries who wrote on his behalf when he surfaced in 1980, and he served only 11 months in prison.

Here is a job posting for a full time assistant director of the Save the River movement:
