Joachim von Ribbentrop, the Nazi foreign minister, and Nomura both provided a template for “negotiations” that was copied in the 1960s by Yippie leader Jerry Rubin in his confrontations with authorities. Rubin, who drafted many of these early tactics modeled on the results of Germany and Japan, explained: “Satisfy our demands and we go twelve more…. All we want from these meetings are demands
that the Establishment can never satisfy
…. Demonstrators are never ‘
reasonable
' [emphasis ours].” Jerry Rubin,
