The Gun Fight

A handgun-happy NRA took a blast at San Jose’s top cop, who returned fire with the ultimate weapon: The McNamara Headline Machine. The new ally in the fight against handguns is none other than one of the NRAs former strongest allies: law enforcement. And the media star of the somewhat comical fight is none other than San Jose’s own police chief, Joe McNamara. Public Eye, June 30, 1988

Clean Street

Its marquee reads “Closed for Remodeling,” but that’s only part of the story. The news is that the Pussycat Theater is being sold to a progressive-minded buyer who’s committed to cleaning up South First Street. The last remnant of the once-thriving porn theater and arcade district, the Pussycat’s demise will allow downtown to make a better impression when the conventioneers begin arriving with their name tags in April. Public Eye, Dec. 22, 1988
