My favorite was the one about the guys who held up the International Newsstand (a porn shop with a lot of papers) with crossbows and escaped on snowmachines. Brilliant that. <BR/><BR/>Did you find the little book that Tom Snapp published, that's a collection of the wilder blotter tales? It's worth tracking down. <BR/><BR/>BTW, do you know what happened to Tom Snapp's AAW clippings/notes archive? It was huge, perhaps better than the morgue at the News-Miner. Also, Snapp was working for years on a novelization of AK political corruption that included lots of stuff that he knew about but hadn't published in the paper. <BR/><BR/>IIRC, Andy Williams bought the paper and then sold it to John Lindauer. Lord knows that Lindauer made of the archive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
