The Yippies weren’t juveniles.

They were adults.

It was founded by Paul Krassner who’d been publishing the Realist for years and was friends with Abbie Hoffman and other Left wing Commie radicals.

Jerry Rubin was 29 at the time (don’t trust anyone over 30, man!)

Abbie Hoffman was 33.
Anita Hoffman was 25.
Nancy Kurshan was 23.
Paul Krassner was 27.

Question authority, especially question the authority of those urging revolution and overthrow of the Constitution.
