Additional Details

Illustrated broadside printing of Cleaver's response to Ronald Reagan, then the conservative governor of California: "I have never liked Ronald Reagan. Even back in the days of his bad movies. . . . I, for one, will never kiss your ass, will never submit to your demagogic machinations. I think you are a cowardly, craven-hearted wretch. You are not a man. You are a punk. . . . I challenge you to a duel, to the death, and you can choose the weapons. And if you can't relate to that, right on. Walk, chicken, with your ass picked clean." None traced in OCLC or at auction.
