...Manhattan's East Village Other, initiator of the Underground Press Syndicate. A 16-page tabloid published twice monthly, EVO boasts a circulation of 10,000 after just eight months on the streets. "We are in favor of evolution, not revolution," says Managing Editor Allan Katzman, 29, a poet with a bachelor's degree in philosophy from the City College of New York. "We hope to transform the middle class by internal and external stimuli, by means of media and LSD." Though EVO is obsessed with LSD, Katzman still finds generous space for an avant-garde international survey...

...Angeles Free Press, another 16-page tabloid, comes out weekly, claimed a circulation of 9,000 on its second birthday last week. Editor and Publisher Art Kunkin, 38, a former machinist who studied at Manhattan's New School for Social Research, sees his paper as "a forum for free expression of critical comment and dialogue."

And both Scripps-Howard and Hearst, who have merged their interests in the World Journal, have good reason for hanging on to a base in New York, which is the nation's center of communications and advertising. It would give...

Sadism & Social News. A tabloid that almost always runs a picture of some battered, bruised or bloodied Puerto Rican on its front page, as well as several sex-and-sadism stories inside, El Diario also carries social news from New York and San Juan. It runs Drew Pearson and Victor Riesel, translated into Spanish, and U.P.I, and A.P. copy on Latin America, along with several columns of chitchat entitled "Chispa-zos" (Sparks), "Machetazos" (Machete Blows) and "Consultorio Sentimental" (Advice to the Lovelorn).

Chalk is now beginning to get some competition from a second Spanish-language tabloid, El Tiempo, which changed from a weekly to a daily last October. Edited by Stanley Ross, 52, a controversial Latin American hand who put out El Diario from 1955 until 1963 when he broke with Chalk, El Tiempo carries more news about Latin America than El Diario and less about New York. It is aimed at New York's non-Puerto Rican Latin Americans-Cubans, Dominicans, Colombians-who are currently streaming into the city, while the Puerto Rican migration has slowed to a bare trickle...
