David Valler, pig stoolie against John Sinclair, Jack Forrest and Pun Plamondon, is still writing his dribble for the Detroit Noose. The paper calls his column “From 4000 Cooper St.” (Jackson Prison) although President Dave has long since been transferred to the Ionia minimum security facilities. At Ionia, Dave is being rehabilitated and has joined the Michigan Jay Cees, which trains “businessmen as community leaders.” …
The Detroit Free Press’s recent “exclusive interview” with the FBI’s 10-most-wanted Pun Plamondon, was neither exclusive nor an interview. Rather it was put together by an editor, Kurt Luedkte, from notes by the Free Press’ new token freek Howard Kohn, late of the Ann Arbor Argus, who summarized some of Pun’s old letters. Luedkte put reporter Bill Schmidt’s name on it along with Kohn’s to give it an air of respectability. One thing the article was right about: the underground is hiding Pun. We take care of our own…

A hip editorial appeared in the Detroit Free Press a while back written by Ron Landsman about the outlandish, senseless, expensive, prejudiced and inaccurate “Huber Report” about campus disorders. A few days later, pig Sen. Huber wrote a letter to the editor and said anyone would be crazy to place any credence in the article because a small photo of the author showed Landsman with wire-glasses and long hair. “No one with long hair can be objective these days,” said Huber…
It has been revealed that the Army has spent two billion dollars in jungle bugging devices in the ever-expanding Indochina war. These devices, according to the source, cost up to three grand each and most of them never work at all, since they are damaged in landing after being air dropped. Those that do work, blast out such super-important messages as tiger mating, two U.S. soldiers getting high and occasionally overhearing civilians on their way to the market. Even those that do work last a whole seven days. What is really interesting is that the cost exceeds four billion bucks, the other two billion was hidden in Navy funds budgeted for something else…
