In reply to the discussion: Do You Have Any Family Connections To "Famous or Notorious Persons"... [View all]GReedDiamond
(5,519 posts)4. Now that's a great example of what I'm talkin bout!
In the 1980s, I knew a guy who had been involved with the L.A. underground newspaper that published Manson's "manifesto" after his arrest.
I think the paper was called "Tuesday's Child."
The paper did so after some "family" members visited the paper's office, and they were intimidated into publishing the statement.
