About This Item
San Francisco: The Trystero Company, 1968. Newspaper. 16p., folded tabloid underground newspaper, news, opinion, articles, photos, events, actions, comix, psychedelia, evenly toned, front wrap stained with one stain bleeding through to next few pages, small section torn out of one edge with no loss of text, else good on newsprint. The Express Times was S.F.'s main political underground paper. Became San Francisco Good Times and later Good Times. Garson was a member of the Free Speech Movement in Berkeley and was jailed in December because of his involvement with the Democratic national Convention protests. Cover headline seems tongue-in-cheek as the accompanying report on Draft Week demonstrations is extremely jaundiced and dismissive of aborted efforts to stir up the crowd. Main feature article in the issue is a transcript of a joint press conference held in Newark, NJ by Leroi Jones (soon to be Amari Baraka), Charles Kinney, a Newark police detective, and Anthony Imperiale, a local player in the Italian American community, the purpose of which seems to have been to clear up "misunderstandings" between Newark Blacks and whites, police, and SDS community organizers. The centerspread is a fold-out poster for "FREE" which celebrates the projects and visions of the post-Diggers' Free City Collective in a giant run-on sentence by Express Times co-editor Robert Novick and photos of free food, free poetry, and short skirts.
