Two issues of a somewhat bizarre, short-lived newspaper published by Minutemen founder Robert DePugh following his release from prison in 1973. The editor is listed as "Eric Blair," likely a pseudonym for DePugh, or an associate. The newspaper, which began in January 1976, billed itself as a free speech organ covering "both extremes of the political spectrum," although the content - at least for these two issues - is primarily from the conservative political right. It s also a much more mainstream periodical than anything previously published by DePugh, and includes local advertising (much of it for DePugh s various enterprises), a crossword puzzle, recipes, a youth section, some pop culture coverage, cartoons, etc. As George & Wilcox state, DePugh hoped that "Controversy" would find its way onto supermarket stalls, [but] it got nowhere as it aired charges and countercharges between DePugh and his former associates, and soon folded" (p. 294). Issues were sometimes distributed with Armed Citizens News, the organ of another DePugh organization, the National Alliance to Keep and Bear Arms (NAKBA). Controversy ceased publication in 1977. A strange feature are the numerous adverts for Controversy featuring young, scantily or bikini-clad women, especially in light of DePugh s arrest 15 years later on charges of sexual exploitation of a minor based on a cache of modeling photographs he d allegedly taken, some of which included minors. This led to a raid of his ex-wife s house where a number of old weapons were found, and so, although he pled down sexual exploitation charges to misdemeanors, he was instead sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison on federal gun charges. He died in relative obscurity in 2009. Tabloid format printed in black on newsprint, 40 pp.; 40 pp., illustrated. One issue with Wilcox Collection stamp to the front cover, otherwise both issues are in very good condition. A scarce title. George, John & Laird Wilcox. Nazis, Communists, Klansmen and Others on the Fringe. Buffalo: Prometheus Books, 1992.
