This week we head off to the west coast and delve into the Los Angeles Free Press, also known as the FREEP, which a paper that would eventually be almost fully consumed by sex ads. But in 1971 there was still a large amount of journalism still going on.

Once again we’re back in NYC, and we have a rather big surprise in our line up: an Andy Milligan play! Yes, at the Jewel Theater we had Milligan’s SECTION 8, which may or may not have been a semi-autobiographical story about his time in the military, and his eventual ousting from it. The script…
