The man who laughs has the terrible news
During a recent identity Christ is or isn’t, in which I copped out, silently, as usual, as the cosmic hyena, I thankfully received my copy of Paul Krassner’s book, How A Satirical Editor Became a Yippie Conspirator in Ten Easy Years. This is a collection of Paul’s writing from the first ten years of his Paine Full second American Revolution revelations, The Realist.

HOW A SATIRICAL
EDITOR BECAME
A YIPPIE CONSPIRATOR
IN TEN EASY YEARS

During a recent identity Christ is or isn’t, in which I copped out, silently, as usual, as the cosmic hyena, I thankfully received my copy of Paul Krassner’s book, How A Satirical Editor Became a Yippie Conspirator in Ten Easy Years. This is a collection of Paul’s writing from the first ten years of his Paine Full second American Revolution revelations, The Realist.
Started in 1968 with 600 subscribers as “a combination of entertainment and the First Amendment,” The Realist today has over 100,000 readers, who waited over three years for their Tenth Anniversary Issue: Said Paul: “I’m not into deadline games.”
Earlier this year, he finished what he said was his first article in three years (read this summer on his weekend San Francisco FM show — Saturday morning, and Sunday night on KSFX — which he does as “Rumpleforeskin”), It’s a history of the Yippies, founded by Paul with Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman on New Year’s Day, 196S.
