I would like to direct Abbie fans to Marty Jezer's biography of Abbie Hoffman, called "Abbie Hoffman: American Rebel", published by Rutgers University press. A very balanced and readable book by a fellow 60's activist.
I am very psyched at the idea of Sacha Baron Cohen playing Abbie. I've always thought Eric Bogosian should be the one, but he's probably getting a bit old for the role. Baron Cohen would seem to understand Abbie's appreciation of the absurd.
