Description: New Orleans, Gumbo Publications, Publisher, 1969. Tabloid. Side folding tabloid newspaper format. 16 pp. including covers. Illustrations throughout. In Arcane Logos appears to have come about after dissension and mistreatment of staff of the Word.

This murder resulted in widespread protests and rioting in Baton Rouge. Also present is a look at flower power, being the benefits of pollen; an article on Resurrection City, a commune type place established in Browns, Alabama by refugees from the Poor People's Campaign in Washington.
