Many thanks also to Joe Bernt, who like Pat took interest in the Scanlan’s project from the very beginning, and pointed me in interesting and fruitful directions; and Bill Reader, who provided good advice about where to take this project—and my life—after completing my degree. I must thank Tom Hodson; without his efforts on my behalf, I surely would have left Scripps for another program. I would also like to thank my friends and colleagues Andrew Huebner, Andy Smith, and Betsy Vereckey for taking interest in the project, editing the manuscript at various stages, and sharing ideas. Finally, a very special thank you to my parents. Their support—financial and otherwise—made this possible. v Table of Contents Page Chapter 1: Off the Ramparts and to the Barricades……………………………………1 Chapter 2: Pay the Buck and Turn the Page………………………………………...18 Chapter 3: “You Trust Your Mother But You Cut the Cards”…………………….37 Chapter 4: The Magazine the President Hated So Much…………………………..58 Chapter 5: Guerilla Warfare in the U.S.A.

Hinckle III summarized the magazine’s ten-month, eight-issue appearance on U.S. newsstands from March 1970 to January 1971: During the short-lived Scanlan’s carnival I became engaged in [a] ridiculous battle with Spiro Agnew over the alleged pirating of a suspect memorandum from his office; was censored in Ireland; upbraided by the Bank of America for instructing love children how to counterfeit its credit cards; sued for one million dollars by the Chief of Police of Los Angeles; threatened by Lufthansa Airlines for an innocent editorial prank which they claimed cost them dearly, and also some other things happened.1 Few, if any, critics have accused Hinckle of understatement during his consistently controversial forty-year career in journalism. But some of the “other things” that happened to Scanlan’s were extraordinarily atypical. Besides the curious events he described above, the publication was also subject to a nationwide boycott by lithographers and printers who refused to work on the magazine’s eighth issue and threatened to sabotage it because it was “un- American,” as well as the seizure of that issue by Canadian police and U.S. Customs authorities. Scanlan’s also managed to infuriate President Richard Nixon, who requested an FBI investigation into its accusations against labor leaders whom Nixon invited to a meeting at the White House, demanded a lawsuit against the magazine, and ordered an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 1 Warren Hinckle, If You Have a Lemon, Make Lemonade (New York: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1974), 363. 2 audit of Scanlan’s and its stockholders. If a magazine’s achievements can be measured in part by whom and how many it infuriated in the shortest amount of time, then surely Scanlan’s deserves to be honored. In the midst of such special attention, Scanlan’s managed to print some of the most provocative muckraking journalism of its time. It tackled a bewildering array of topics: atrocities by U.S. soldiers in Vietnam, the murder of a member of the Black Panther Party, Mexico-U.S. marijuana smuggling, the role of CBS in a failed invasion of Haiti, Mark Twain, the environment, Charles Manson, Russian pornography, the Mafia, counterfeit credit cards, and domestic guerilla warfare. Scanlan’s also published the first examples of Hunter S. Thompson’s now- celebrated “Gonzo journalism,” and two years before anyone outside of Washington, D.C., had heard of Watergate, it called for President Nixon’s impeachment. Scanlan’s’ escapades as well as its content were widely covered and reviewed in mainstream newspapers and magazines such as the New York Times, Time, Newsweek, Columbia Journalism Review, New York, and Commonweal. Esteemed writers such as Tom Wolfe, Sol Stern, Studs Terkel, Graham Greene, Thomas Fleming, Jerry Mander, Richard Severo, Murray Kempton, and Auberon Waugh thought enough of Scanlan’s to write for the magazine. Scanlan’s was also an innovator. It eschewed advertising (when Scanlan’s did run an advertisement, it paid the advertiser, not the other way around), and relied completely on newsstand sales and subscriptions for revenue. It almost succeeded; before its disastrous eighth issue, the magazine was close to breaking even financially. 3 Longevity alone is not a measure of a magazine’s importance. Scanlan’s’ insistence on taking on and not backing down from power doomed it to an early death. But it was also that commitment to troublemaking muckraking that made the magazine great. Yes, it failed, but it failed spectacularly. The magazine, the characters who ran it and wrote for it, and its rise and fall were anything but dull. What’s more, Scanlan’s’ brushes with the U.S. government demonstrate the extent of the Nixon administration’s war on the dissident press. In later years Hinckle liked to say that it was the magazine that Richard Nixon hated the most. Whether Nixon truly felt that way cannot be proven, but his rancor for the magazine is well established. The story of Scanlan’s is a sobering lesson on how government power can be wielded to harass, and in some cases silence, the free press. Yet for all its famous names and notoriety, Scanlan’s is largely a forgotten publication. Those few who have heard of it probably first came across the title, as this author did, while reading about Thompson. The two major articles he wrote for Scanlan’s, “The Last Temptation of Jean-Claude Killy” and “The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved,” were re-printed in his 1979 anthology of articles, The Great Shark Hunt.2 Today, a search for “Scanlan’s Monthly” in an Internet search engine yields hundreds of hits, of which the overwhelming majority are Web sites or pages devoted to Thompson. Following Thompson’s suicide in February 2005, Scanlan’s was cited in dozens of obituaries and summations of his career. As Scanlan’s co-founder Sidney E. Zion, now a 2 See Hunter S. Thompson, The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time (New York: Ballantine Books, 1979). 4 New York Post columnist, put it, “So it took Thompson’s shot in the head and the stories of his life to get Scanlan’s back in the paper.”3 Though Scanlan’s Monthly was mentioned in many Thompson retrospectives in February and March 2005, usually it was only referenced and not described, or assigned pat adjectives such as “edgy,” “maverick,” and “short- lived,” as well as “forgotten” and “obscure.”4 Even worse, its title is often misspelled “Scanlon’s”; even the San Francisco Examiner, which employed Hinckle for years, made that mistake shortly after Thompson’s death.5 Scanlan’s also has been erroneously referred to as a “literary journal,” a “short-lived sporting and contemporary magazine,” a “feisty, short-lived weekly,” and an “antiwar magazine.”6 Douglas Brinkley, who edited two volumes of Thompson’s correspondence and knows far more about Scanlan’s than the average Thompson eulogizer, wrote misleadingly in the introduction to one of those volumes, 3 Sidney Zion, “Searching in Vain for the Gonzo Legacy,” New York Daily News, February 24, 2005. 4 See Kyle Sheahen, “Magic Aura Defines Western Heroes,” Cornell Daily Sun, March 17, 2005 (accessed on line at www.cornellsun.com); Chris Morris, “Fear and Loathing,” Billboard, October 22, 1996 (accessed on line at www.erin.utoronto.ca/~tlauw/jcusack/artcles/article_2. html); Randolph T.

Shorris’s description is perhaps the oddest, since he actually worked in Scanlan’s’ San Francisco office.

  • Weather Underground Rises from the Ashes: They're Baack!
    Weather Underground Rises from the Ashes: They're Baack! I attended part of a January 20, 2006, "day workshop of interventions" — aka "a day of dialogic interventions" — at Columbia University on "Radical Politics and the Ethics of Life."[1] The event aimed "to stage a series of encounters . to bring to light . the political aporias [sic] erected by the praxis of urban guerrilla groups" in Europe and the United States from the 1960s to the 80s.[2] Hosted by Columbia's Anthropology Department, workshop speakers included veterans and leaders of the Weather Underground Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, historian Jeremy Varon, poststructuralist theorist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and a dozen others. The panel I sat through was just awful.[3] Veterans of Weather (as well as some fans) seem to be on a drive to rehabilitate, cleanse, and perhaps revive it — not necessarily as a new organization, but rather as an ideological component of present and future movements. There have been signs of such a sanitization and romanticization for some time. A landmark in this rehabilitation is Bill Ayers, Fugitive Days: A Memoir (Beacon Press 2001; Penguin Books 2003). This is a dubious account, full of anachronisms, inaccuracies, unacknowledged borrowings from unnamed sources (such as the documentary, Atomic Cafe, 17-19), adding up to an attempt to cover over the fact that Ayers was there only for a part of the things he describes in a volume that nonetheless presents itself as a memoir. It's also faux literary and soft core ("warm and wet and welcoming"(68)), "ruby mouth"(38), "she felt warm and moist"(81)), full of archaic sexism, littered with boasts of Ayers's sexual achievements, utterly untouched by feminism.

  • Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

  • Selected Chronology of Political Protests and Events in Lawrence
    SELECTED CHRONOLOGY OF POLITICAL PROTESTS AND EVENTS IN LAWRENCE 1960-1973 By Clark H. Coan January 1, 2001 LAV1tRE ~\JCE~ ~')lJ~3lj(~ ~~JGR§~~Frlt 707 Vf~ f·1~J1()NT .STFie~:T LA1JVi~f:NCE! i(At.. lSAG GG044 INTRODUCTION Civil Rights & Black Power Movements. Lawrence, the Free State or anti-slavery capital of Kansas during Bleeding Kansas, was dubbed the "Cradle of Liberty" by Abraham Lincoln. Partly due to this reputation, a vibrant Black community developed in the town in the years following the Civil War. White Lawrencians were fairly tolerant of Black people during this period, though three Black men were lynched from the Kaw River Bridge in 1882 during an economic depression in Lawrence. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1894 that "separate but equal" was constitutional, racial attitudes hardened. Gradually Jim Crow segregation was instituted in the former bastion of freedom with many facilities becoming segregated around the time Black Poet Laureate Langston Hughes lived in the dty-asa child. Then in the 1920s a Ku Klux Klan rally with a burning cross was attended by 2,000 hooded participants near Centennial Park. Racial discrimination subsequently became rampant and segregation solidified. Change was in the air after World "vV ar II. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy (LLPD) formed in 1945 and was in the vanguard of Post-war efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. This was a bi-racial group composed of many KU faculty and Lawrence residents. A chapter of Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) formed in Lawrence in 1947 and on April 15 of the following year, 25 members held a sit-in at Brick's Cafe to force it to serve everyone equally.
