1970 Greenwich Village Townhouse Explosion... Dustin Hoffman...



Item # 702976

March 12, 1977

THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, March 12, 1970

* Greenwich Village Townhouse Explosion
* Weather Underground - far-left militants
* Bomb making effort gone wrong - fail
* Hollywood actor Dustin Hoffman affected


The front page has a two column heading: "The House on 11th St.: Digging Up the Debris" with lead-in: "A 'Bomb Factory' ?" and 3 related photo including one of Hoffman. (see images) Great to have in Greenwich Village's very own publication.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
As most might be aware "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history.
Complete in 80 pages, tabloid-size, folded at the center, nice condition.

Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive and has never been in circulation. Rare as such.

Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
