Abstract
A letter from the owner of David L. Rothkop, of the I-Thou Coffe House, 1736 Haight Street, calling for a coming together of the diverse elements among the Haight merchants, including the "old guard" Merchants Association and the new hip merchants. Criticizes the hippies for their naïve belief in "drugs-as-panacea" as well as the reactionary elements of the Merchants Association who blocked Moe's Bookstore's request for a second-hand permit.
