Table of Contents: "2...Please read issue #4 first, then the GHS II editorial, for a quickl look at the Newspaper's financial condition. Greg also does a bit of rapping on important happening at 25 Beacon St. which concern youth, as well as his first bit of editorializing. 3...New Notes offer a unique contest for all our readers who are deft at uncovering FBI agents in Unitarian churches. page 3 also begins 2 and 1/2 glorious pages of your letters. 6...Ken Friedman returns with a special meaning to those who know him intimately. He makes his peace, and sets his critics out to pasture. All graphics are by Ken also. 8...this is what we hoped the Newspaper would get into. We apologize for the cramped layout. this section's first article is by Women's Federation Director, Connie Burgess, which sparked replies by Ross Quinn and Burt Cohen when first printed in the Bridge. 10...a contributing reason for holding the mailing on the fourth issue was the possible thought loss in regard to Norman Friedman article. It really deserves one's full attention. 13...we have reprinted a UUA pamphlet which has just come out. we thought it would not only be very useful, but interest people in seeking help on their draft problems from UUSC's draft counsellor, Tony Lob. 15...many thought we would not have enough material to put out an issue of the Nameless Newsprint every two weeks. it hasn't played out that way, for in this issue we do not even have room for Candiental or Aesthetic Appeal. You will see them re-appearing in our next effort. 16...this is the page. do your ging as a New Year's present to LRY." |
