Dangerous-Looking Young Man at the Edge of the Western World
Anyone know who the dangerous-looking young man is? I know I should know, but I don’t know. See also, of course, Corry.

Context: 19681009-19681013 Express Times listings
McHenry Library at UCSC has one random roll of the great San Francisco Express Times from the turbulent year of 1968. I have some holes in my collection of listings from that paper in that year, had lots of other really specific stuff to get into, but had a few brief moments to spin some…
