Book excerpt: Broadside produced and distributed by antiwar activist William Matons (1906-1993), who performed as his alter ego "General Hershey Bar" in guerrilla street theater in San Francisco and Los Angeles from the Vietnam War era through the late 1970s. The name "Hershey Bar" was a play on General Lewis B. Hershey, head of Selective Service during the Vietnam War. He was often accompanied by fellow antiwar activist Tom Dunphy, who assumed the character of "General Wastemoreland," alluding to General William C. Westmoreland, commander of the U.S. armed forces during the war. Maton was a regular presence at anti-war rallies in the 1960s, standing out for his age (a full generation older than the typical college-age demonstrators around him) as well as for his exptemporaneous speechmaking and his self-distributed street literature. Ink-stamped with Maton's imprint, Handicap Publications, which identifies another one of his alter egos, Calypso Joe--his stage name as a vaudeville performer in the 1930s and 1940s--as press secretary.
