   • 1979 December 22, Gia Berkman, “Some Friction”, in Gay Community News, volume 2, number 22, page 4:

     To make matters worse, you did not publish the news note until 5 days before the conference — even though we had submitted it enough in advance to have been included in the previous weeks' paper.
