As a reporter for the Berkeley Barb, Paul Krassner was ringside at many California trials. Krassner's deadpan, hilarious style captures the nightmare reality behind the absurdities of the courtroom circus. Using his infamous satiric pen and investigative chops, Krassner gets to the truth behind the events: from the role of the police and FBI to the real deal with Patty Hearst and the SLA. Plus a merciless expose of the Taliban' wing of the gay movement. Also featured is PM Press's Outspoken Interview, an irreverent romp through the history of America's radical underground.'
