In Cleveland's Hough ghetto, the group stayed with families in ghetto apartments. In San Francisco, a motel manager emptied enough rooms of prostitutes to crowd the group in-and got himself beaten up by their pimps in return. The pimps who stayed were anxious to talk, mostly about police abuse of their rights. Bill Buckley listened for a while before informing them that "there's a contradiction between the sociological and practical approach to this situation." There were other...
...fast, fellas and girls. Remember Publisher Freddy Mitchell's vow to keep the magazine alive at all costs? Well, no sooner had Warren left than the gang got together and decided that what they had to do was file bankruptcy papers. And they did! That was last February.

The amendment went into effect in 1920, but at that time Florida's legislators refused to go along with the rest of the states in suffering female suffrage. The ungentlemanly gesture was utterly unavailing, for as soon as an amendment is ratified by three-fourths of the states, it is binding throughout the U.S. In a bow to Florida's League of Women Voters, which this year is celebrating its 30th anniversary...
