FLASH!

John Sinclair almost lost all his hair once again! The prisons had been ordered last year by the federal judge in the CIA Conspiracy case not to touch John's locks, just so that he would look like he did when he alledgedly conspired to blow up the Ann Arbor CIA office in 1968. But Perry Johnson, Jackson Prison's warden, tried to get away with clipping off the curly mane (now down almost to his shoulders) because the CIA case had been delayed by pre-trial litigation and Perry says all the inmates at Jackson are demanding to know "if Sinclair can have long hair, why can't we?" John refused the barbering and spent several days in the hole before attorney Buck Davis intervened and squashed the plot to make John look like a honkie.

FLASH!

The Ann Arbor SUN is YOUR paper, and we urge everyone out there who's ever had an itching to pick up the typewriter and would like to write for the paper, to get down their raps, and bring them by. We'd like to expand the local news section and cover everything that concerns all the different kinds of people that live in town. In order to grow properly into the new world the community needs information, so that everyone will know what's going on and where they can fit in. IF you come across anything that might be of interest to the community, get it down on paper and bring it by our commune at 1520 Hill Street. Writing might seem like an impossible task, but if you just figure out what you want people to learn about and DO IT, you'll find it a lot easier than you thought it would be.

Sisters and brothers seeking refuge from the heat or from the reefer shortage in a good bottle of cold beer or wine while hanging out or out for a stroll have recently been the target of the zealous enforcers of the public order in Ann Arbor. There's an ordinance against drinking on the streets, and the cops have been enjoying themselves by forcing young people to pour their refreshments down the sewer. So watch for the petty creeps, and get it down your throat first!

FLASH!
