Editor Bill Northwood was also the news editor for KPFA radio in Berkeley, noted for its coverage of the Symbionese Liberation Army crimes and the kidnapping of Patty Hearst (In May 1974, Northwood was questioned over how the studio received tape recordings from the SLA broadcast by the network).
20pp, folded newsprint folio. Some spotting at external folds. Labelled for mail. Pages toned but clean. Very good.
