...Indians than in converting them, but when peace was restored they began to feel pangs of Protestant responsibility brought on by the recent abdication of the Londoners. A group of Bostonians in 1787 established the present foundation to take up the work dropped by the London Society. A typical contributor to the new Society for Propagating the Gospel was one Colonel Alford, who, according to the executor of his will, "was desireous the Aborigines should be both civilized and christianized; that the Gospel should be sent into the dark, benighted parts of the land...
Avatar is one of several irreverent, fuzzily written hippie newspapers that have sprung up in the U.S. It contains no more erotica than the rest; even its chief contributor, Mel Lyman, who claims to be God, is nothing out of the ordinary. Avatar differs only in that it is published in the Boston area, where such publications are traditionally frowned on. Soon after it first appeared last spring, city fathers grew restive.

This was largely the accomplishment of a zealous minority who cared about what the candidate stood...
Another Cheetah contributor had the inventiveness to answer some of those lurid personal ads in the hippie newspaper, the East Village Other. For example: Man, 24, with insatiable appetite for sex, desires meeting uninhibited females for mutual satisfaction. No scruples. Am novice in Arts, but eager to learn. Modern wife consents. Call Ernie, (212) 265-3599. 9 a.m. to 11 p.m." The first time the writer called, all that she could hear was a child squalling loudly in the background and a harassed male voice that shouted, "Could you call me back in a few minutes?"
