Jesse heads for the fateful Chicago Democratic convention, while David moves to a commune with Jesse's girl friend Karen (Elaine_Malus). Tired of trying to run away from controversy, Karen heads to Chicago for a reunion with Jesse, and a few philosophical discussions with "guest stars" Dick_Gregory and Abbie_Hoffman. Other members of the Intellectual Left making brief appearances in Prologue include Allen_Ginsberg, Jean_Genet, John Kenneth Galbraith, and William_S._Burroughs. Director Robin_Spry co-wrote the screenplay with Sherwood_Forest (no, really). Hal Erickson, Rovi
