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]

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":

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:

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".
