Doug Pollard gets the cover with a story about a crime in New York that was notable enough to be made into the film Dog Day Afternoon starring Al Pacino. Meanwhile, Lilly Law has started to persecute the Keele Gay Liberation Society after many weeks of spying on them as they meet in a local pub; the usual modus operandi – accusing them of having sex with men aged under 21 – was used to drag them into court. Weymouth Council has withdrawn its offer to host CHE’s first annual conference due to the very idea being ‘disgusting’. Weymouth’s loss would be Morecambe’s gain. Reviews include Asylum (liked) and The Godfather (disliked).

The bank robbery that became the film Dog Day Afternoon continues to fascinate the paper. Note the main headline: we wouldn’t describe the woman in the picture as a “man” nowadays. ATV’s Warhol documentary will go out on the ITV network on 27 March. The California State Supreme Court has banned police from entrapping men who have sex with men in public lavatories in the state, saying it breaches the Fourth Amendment. Reviews include Eagle in a Cage and Talking About Cakes by Margaret Bates.
