...been parked. In the first grave, they found a head wrapped in a plastic bag and a torso, with apparent stab wounds, swathed in cloth. Further searching turned up parts of the three other bodies. It appeared that the girls had been killed before dismemberment. An ax or cleaver had been used for the grotesque operations.

Interviewing the wife of Black Panther Fugitive Eldridge Cleaver, she was confronted not only by a stream of obscenity directed at white society, but also by Mrs. Cleaver's outspoken contempt for a paper that would not print her language. Judy tried to include one of Mrs. Cleaver's words in the story, but the word was deleted-and so was the story itself after the first edition...
