WIIAT DO YOU THINK ?

What we have not received,which we found sl ight lYsurpr is ing, was much wri t tenreact ion to the mater ia l inthe f i rst issue. Due tonl cnf r r of oral react lon,there is no doubt that manyof you clear ly recal- l , and infact p layed some part in, theevents recounted from 1,97 4 .I t would have beeninterest ing to study some eyewitness accounts of thosestor ies. Perhaps we need toseek arrF some morecontroversial events to Pr ickthe creat ive consciences outthere?
