There is an interesting searchable archive called "Voices: An Open
Access Collection of an Alternative Press" located here:

http://voices.revealdigital.com/

Do any list members have access to this archive? A notice on the
website suggests that the material may become more accessible in 2019:

[Begin excerpt]
All of the content is copyright cleared with the ultimate transition
to open access in 2019 in mind. Access is provided under a Creative
Commons Non-Commercial License. Rights to the individual works that
make up this collection remain with the original copyrights holder.

I am trying to gain access to an article in an issue of the "Los
Angeles Free Press" from 1968 that is contained in the archive. The
target article includes the phrase "so saith Clemens":

Los Angeles Free Press, Vol 5, Issue 220-Part Two, 10/4/1968
Source Library: Archives and Special Collections at the Thomas J. Dodd
Research Center, University of Connecticut

I cannot view the page because it is locked. Does some list member
have access to this archive? Maybe someone at University of
Connecticut has access to the scans of the "Los Angeles Free Press".

The Independent Voices archive also has a copy of a famous fake
interview which is sometimes referred to as Pablo Picasso's
"Confession". The piece appeared in a journal called "Origin" and
quotations from it have been incorrectly ascribed to Picasso. A search
for the phrase "I am only a public entertainer" yields a match:

Page 3 (Locked)
Origin, Vol 2, Issue 12, 1/1/1964
Source Library: Memorial Library, University of Wisconsin – Madison
[End match information]

I cannot view the page because it is locked. Does some list member
have access to this archive? Evidence indicates that the fictitious
interview lampooning Picasso was actually constructed by the writer
Giovanni Papini who included it in his book "The El Libro Negro".
