Гішторія одного фашиста

Середина 1960x, Берклі, Franklin Johnson (венчурний капіталіст), про 1 кумпанію з портфоліо:

'[Draper & Johnson] have invested in a company called Chromotronix in Berkeley, they were doing liquid chromatography [...] It was right during the Vietnam War, I was the chairman of the board, the board was about 3 people, I was over there visiting & the guys in the lab were wearing Vietcong hats!

'I thought "That's sorta weird," & then I saw they tacked the American flag upside down. I said,

"Guys, I'm not gonna allow this."
"You cannot tell us what to do!"
"I'll make sure you get that flag upside right."

'I went to see the president Dick Gundelfinger, who was a Berkley type of guy; I think he was sympathetic w/ them. I went out w/ him & made them put the flag right. They called me a fascist, of course.'
