An Inclusive Litany

6/8/92

The University of Massachusetts at Amherst has an underground newspaper. After protesters stormed the Massachusetts Daily Collegian's office, the newspaper decided to publish from a secret location. It may also need to dispense the papers from a secret location. Protesters who were offended by the paper's failure to publish an editorial denouncing the Rodney King verdict removed thousands of copies from distribution points.

But don't jump to conclusions about the protesters' politics the way Editor-in-Chief Marc Elliott did. According to The Boston Globe, he chided them with the comment, "I thought only Nazis burned books." A woman responded: "We didn't burn them. We recycled them."
