NEARLY TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY…

image004Edition #64 (published on August 20, 1991) of the original printed edition of The Whistleblower (not the Newswire) was delivered to Persons of Consequence all over town. It was our “Sure cure for uncontrollable, hysterical laughter” Issue, and our Really Big Story was all about our tribute to a Greater Cincinnatian. Our Top Ten List listed the top ten things P&G President Ed Artst found out when he checked his employees’ long-distance telephone records. Plus there was a story about the timing of Judge Thomas Crush’s verdict announcement in the Mickey Esposito case.image006

There was a promo for Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane’s appearance on a 55 WKRC Radio program, as well as also another Real Guest Editorial by Bunky Tadwell (this one was about some of the goings-on at P&G).image010
