ee) Pay ” ut 7 i Oe ee ee qo 4 he - 4 — injunction against the city, his name was Lynch, Judge oe. Lynch, He did, right. there It was kinda tough because he was Mayor Daley's ex law partner, you know, and it was always like working out that way. So we didn't get that. I call up Dave Stall cause I try to be helpful. I said, “Hey Dave. I'11 let you in on a secret. You know that LSD thing in the drinking water and all those troops ovt there? Like, you guys musta seen water in the streets or somethin’. Like, it can't be done. Why don't you call up your scientists, I sean you own thes 222, ask then." He says I know, we checked it out, but we aren't taking any chances anyway. They aren't taking any chances, Ha. Power. Nominate a pig. It's illegal to have an animal in the streets of Chicago unless you're Spiro Agnew and the animal's an elephant, then it's OK. He did it. Pig knowed, 9 they busted the pig, see. We had this press conference and he said you turn this pig loose in three hours, we run a lion for president. So the cops, r don't know them, they — a — # én dtd Ca +L must Lave got sone of that acid, so they run up to the zoo and they got the lion's den, Four cops did it. Crazy mother fuckers. Choice of insanities. ‘You think I'm kiddin’, huh? This is from one of their best journels out there, the New York Times. You know people say, did you read the newspaper this morning. Well, some people say did you read the Times this morning; this is a whole different thing. Like, it's a nation's security blanket, ail the news that's fit to print and everything, you know. I don't read it but I watch the ads on TV in New York, and they say even though you don't read it all, it's nice to know its there. What's so nice about it? I don't know, they don't even have comics. They got times though. UPI ~ a house subcoamittee reported today that spies are collecting information so fast that their chiefs do not have time to read it. Then it goes on to say how they lost the Pueblo, Vietnam, Korth Dakota, and « few other things. Here's another one. It's another serious guy down here. Atlanta AP = an Atlanta mortician has adopted a drive-in approach for busy persons who want to drive by and view a deceased friend. Hershel] Thornton is building five windows in a row as an extension of his funeral home. Each window is six feet long arid will contain 2 body in its coffin, The display will face a driveway on the side of the home located on a busy street. So many people want to come by and see the remains of a relative or friend, Thornton said, but they just don't have the time. This way, the mourner can drive by and just keep on going. That's out of sight. Bullet-proof glass encloses gallery at stock exchange. Seems sone hippies went down to throw out money, ten thousand dollars. They bullet-proofed the whole thing the next week.
