- Description:
- Alternative title: Tired Tirades ... Flash Announces: "This is a living newspaper, use the rest of it to write some news. If you have anything to submit, find us, whoever we are." Background information: "Eugene Joseph McCarthy -- U.S. senator whose entry into the 1968 race for the Democratic presidential nomination ultimately led President Lyndon B. Johnson to drop his bid for reelection ... Although in 1964 he had supported the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (which gave the president broad powers to wage the Vietnam War), by 1967 McCarthy had become an outspoken critic of the war." (Eugene J. McCarthy. Encyclopaedia Britannica. Retrieved February 24, 2004, from Encyclopaedia Britannica Online. http://www.search.eb.com/eb/article?eu=50840 ) Background information: Boyd Grafmyre turned the Eagles Temple auditorium (of the Fraternal Order of Eagles) "into a major venue on the national rock circuit," whose shows were often advertised with psychedelic concert posters by John Moehring. (Crowley, Walt. Rites of Passage: A Memoir of the Sixties in Seattle. Seattle: University of Washington Press. p. 81) Background information: In 1967, Seattle police invoked an antiquated ordinance banning arc lamps as a way to deny permits for light shows. However, the ban was reversed on May 4 of the same year by the Seattle City Council under pressure from councilman Charles Carroll and an ACLU law suit. (Crowley 68-70, 241)
