Jane Fonda visited Evergreen at the beginning of winter quarter 1975. The library building was packed as she gave her slide presentation. She knew where she was and pandered to the audience. And the students knew it. Jane said all the politically correct things an Evergreen speaker was supposed to say about American imperialism, brain dead TV watchers, corporate greed, etc. But something about it didn't connect. The slides were taken during her "Hanoi Jane" visit to North Vietnam.
» Shortly after that visit, Gov. Jerry Brown tried in vain to appoint Jane to some arts commission in California. The reason given for her rejection was the fact that she had toured with this pro-North Vietnam slide show. Jane protested that her presentations were not political, they were artistic. OK. Whatever.
