Side folding tabloid format. 40 pp., plus the A-T classified ads section (offering an apparent A-T selection of adult entertainment). A later issue of this pioneering underground newspaper, known as the Freep. Established in 1964, the paper was known for its coverage of the counterculture movement and radical politics, as well as its strong anti-Vietnam War stance. Financial and staffing troubles led to its eventual demise in 1978. This issue with the "Notes of a Dirty Old Man" column by Charles Bukowski (in the classified section) as well as a reply from him to a letter written about a previous one of his columns; an investigation into the police shootout with the SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army) and an alleged cover up of the facts; an interview with labor rights activist Cesar Chavez, etc. GOOD condition. Slightly ex-library with an address label and stamp present. Moderate general browning. Paper slightly brittle. Minor wrinkling along the extremities.
