8. not dylan? (i thought it was the beatles--but apparently i was wrong)
It is hard to believe that ''Jerry Rubin Is 50 (Yes, 50) Years Old'' (news story July 16). I didn't even realize he was 30 years old in August 1968 at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where we were arrested for trying to nominate a pig for President and where it was reported he said, ''Never trust anyone over 30.'' Indeed, he may have said it often, but Jerry Rubin did not coin the phrase. Credit must be given to Jack Weinberger, the civil rights and Berkeley free-speech activist, back in 1964.
