San Diego State College's Joseph Arthur Pranis staged a three-day hunger strike to bring gulpers "to their senses." At week's end he was thwarted by what seemed an ultimate -horror...

Jewish Swingsters Larry Kent and Jerry Brandow joined with Negro Swingsters Willie Spotswood, Ed Robinson and Leonard Ware in publishing it last January through Exclusive Publications, Inc. under the group names Kent Brandow and Robinson Ware Spotswood. Soon it was being innocently squalled all over the land...
