Bush to thrust his country into war in the Middle East. Covers detached from textblock. Last page almost loose. Unmarked.

Four original 8.5 x 11" single-sided leaflets on various colors of paper by a student group calling itself The Pacifist Anarchist Bisexual Psychedelic Conspiracy which displayed a punky insouciance that was ten years ahead of its time. One titled "Fuck You Punk Freshmen" envisions the first-year students as the oppressed masses who get a talking-to from the group and advice to "smoke dope. gethigh.high." and "ORGASM." Another leaflet is dated in the then-future October 2001 and lists a bunch of abbreviations of radical groups at the time starting with S.D.S. All but the "Freshmen" leaflet are in Near Fine condition; that one shows creases from being folded in eighths.

Reprinting newspaper accounts the first dated 'London Thursday Evening Feb. 24 1820.' with sub-heading 'Bow-Street 12 o'clock.' the second 'London Friday Evening Feb. 28.' Of the moment of arrest by Ellis and the Bow Street officers the first report states: 'On the door being opened about 27 or 30 men were seen within all armed in some way or other; and for the most part they were apparently engaged either in charging fire-arms or in girding themselves in belts similar to those worn by the military. There were tables about the room on which lay a number of cutlasses bayonets &c. As the officers entered the room the conspirators all started up when Ruthven who had been furnished with a warrant from the Magistrate exclaimed - “We are peace-officers! Lay down your arms!†A smart contest instantly commenced. A man whom Ruthven describes as Arthur Thistlewood opposed himself to the officers armed with a cut and thrust sword of unusual length. Ellis advanced to the man and presenting his pistol exclaimed “Drop your sword or I'll fire instantly!†The sword was brandished with increasing violence and Smithers attempting to seize him was stabbed in the heart. He fell into the arms of Ellis exclaiming “Oh God!†and in the next instant was a corpse.' Pollock, Printer, North Shields. No date [March 1820]. unknown
