...third. This sight encouraged the leader of the Greater London Council, Sir Horace Cutler, to send down telegraphic thunderbolts about the renewal of the National's subsidy. Censor-without-Portfolio Mary Whitehouse read about-but did not see-The Romans, and immediately swore out a complaint. Scotland Yard's Obscene Publications Squad was sent to investigate. The battle was joined...

"Ku Klux Klan Calls For:" and then, in 144-point type, "WHITE UNITY." The lead article, written by Mr. Wilkinson, urges whites to "unite and reclaim our country and bring an end to black crime."
