Um, Very Interesting\u003c/a>\" (subscription only):\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It was Hinckle's packaging and promotion that sold Ramparts. \"I have no politics,\" Hinckle said recently. Then he added: \"I hate magazines.\" His fascination was newspapering and he tried to run Ramparts amidst an air of continuing crisis, a sort of super-agitated city room. In the end, it was more like a wire service than a newspaper. The idea would be to wait past the deadline, descend into a bar, rip up all the copy and rush to a telephone to talk to some would-be correspondent holed up in Bangkok or Stockholm. On the spot, this lucky person could dictate his story to Hinckle who then would rewrite it. Everyone at Ramparts admired Hinckle's ability to rewrite stories, which he often did at 3 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hinckle gained a reputation as a character as well. The millionaires who bankrolled Ramparts were always impressed by the way he spent money, taking them to lavish luncheons and entertainments and paying for the whole with their own money. Hinckle always flew first class on planes. ... Once he was stranded in Chicago during a domestic air strike, and refusing to take a train or bus to New York, instead flew to London and from there to New York.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Washington Post, 1981:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1981/10/08/two-partisan-of-the-post-into-the-80s/3f814041-e929-44ea-84f9-698deb17ea0b/\" target=\"_blank\">\"Two Partisan of the Post: Into the 1980s\"\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... At 42, Hinckle is still nagging the national psyche like Banquo's ghost at a Tupperware buffet. \"I spend a lot of time in the ghettos,\" he says. \"I hang out in very tough circles, in cop bars and garbage bars,\" and can report with ominous certitude that \"there's gonna be civil war in this country within a decade,\" that in the urban jungles \"they're stockpiling rockets.\" Apocalypse Wow -- all ending, he predicts, in redistribution of income: \"The government's just gonna pay off\" because \"we cannot have 90 percent of the kids\" in outlaw poverty: \"They're just gonna whack out anybody they come across.\" Legislation by fear? \"At least it's an honest motive.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SF Weekly, 1996:\u003c/strong> \"Hinckle, Hinckle, Little Star\" \u003ca href=\"http://archives.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/hinckle-hinckle-little-star-part-i/Content?oid=2132855\" target=\"_blank\">Part 1\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://archives.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/hinkle-hinkle-little-star-part-ii/Content?oid=2132856&showFullText=true\" target=\"_blank\">Part 2\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Warren Hinckle is many things to many people. He has been a public relations hack, magazine editor, muckraking reporter, columnist, procrastinator, mayoral candidate, con man, conspiracy theorist, and loving pet owner who recently held a pre-death wake for his ailing basset hound, Bentley, at Stars restaurant, feeding the mutt a final burger before the dreaded visit to the vet. Next to Herb Caen, he is arguably the town's most well-known newsman. ... But how did he get here? How does a one-eyed Irish Catholic son of a Hunters Point shipyard worker end up barhopping with senators and politicos, helping shoehorn mayors into City Hall?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Suck.com Q and A, 2000: \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.suck.com/daily/2000/03/31/\" target=\"_blank\">The Hinckle File\u003c/a>\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... His credentials read like a dadaist version of \"The Front Page.\" As editor of the seminal New Left and Gonzo magazines Ramparts and Scanlan's in the 1960s, Hinckle was largely responsible for the two most spectacular train wrecks in postwar journalism, and for bringing a sensationalistic, cant-busting sensibility to the comatose genre of left-wing publishing. His memoir of those two magazines, \"If You Have a Lemon, Make Lemonade,\" is beyond praise as both a black comedy and a cautionary tale. He has worked for both San Francisco dailies and in ventures too numerous and varied to name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>On the Examiner and Chronicle, circa 2000:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, these guys at the Chronicle and the Examiner are all just pipe smokers without the pipes. It's an insufferably middle-aged mentality. They're really boring people who put out a very boring product in a very exciting city. And, in fact, sales of the Chronicle are very low locally. They claim to have 400,000 circulation, but almost all of that is outside the city. And the Examiner I think is under 50,000 in the City. I mean, how boring can you get? You drop your newsstand price from 50 cents to a quarter, which they did a few years ago, and nothing happens? It's like dropping your pants and nobody looks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chronicle was an interesting paper when Scott Newhall ran it in the '60s. He had wild columnists and crusades and stories. They cared about Western history and the environment, and there was a passion to the paper that people picked up on. So people would say, \"What are they up to today?\" At least it's interesting, rather than, \"Oh God, do I have to look at that thing again?\" That's the type of journalism I've always done. Newspapers don't yet reflect the freedom and range of opinion that you're seeing now on the Net, and we're going to start doing that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we were trying to liven up the Examiner, though, the problem we ran into was with the staff. It was like working with the fucking State Department. These people were so insufferably arrogant and full of themselves. Their idea of an important investigative story is the lead in the water in Tulare county and how that went on for 30 years, and in a seven-part story we will investigate how this went on. Sorry, I just don't think that's very interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q. Lead in the water seems to be a legitimate topic and a story people would want covered in the paper.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's nothing wrong with a lead-in-the-water story. But all their stories are lead in the water. It's like, hey, don't you know there are real stories you can find? Or more interesting scandals? Or just make your own news if you can't find anything to report about.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"\u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=VXxZ1UU_EwkC&lpg=PP1&dq=susan%20cheever%20desire&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=susan%20cheever%20desire&f=false\" target=\"_blank\">Desire: Where Sex Meets Addiction\u003c/a>,\" by Susan Cheever, 2009\u003c/strong>: This is an exploration of sexual compulsion. But the book's leitmotif is her marriage to Hinckle -- her third, his second -- and it offers a glimpse of the man apart from his public persona. Here's a passage in which she describes their wedding day:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I loved him for the way his mind worked, for the generosity that had unhesitatingly invited my anxious daughter on our honeymoon, and for his passion for helping those in trouble and those with few resources. I loved him for his searching soul, which always questioned authority whether it was President Nixon's or my mother's. ...\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bancroft Library, Regional Oral History Office:\u003c/strong> \"\u003ca href=\"http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/ROHO/narrators/hinckle_warren.html\" target=\"_blank\">Warren Hinckle: Journalist, Editor, Publisher, Iconoclast\u003c/a>\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The dean of California historians, Kevin Starr, calls this 43-hour interview with journalist and iconoclast Warren Hinckle \"rambling, discursive, opinionated, outrageous\"—not surprising words given the reputation of the interviewee.

It's an insufferably middle-aged mentality. They're really boring people who put out a very boring product in a very exciting city. And, in fact, sales of the Chronicle are very low locally. They claim to have 400,000 circulation, but almost all of that is outside the city. And the Examiner I think is under 50,000 in the City. I mean, how boring can you get? You drop your newsstand price from 50 cents to a quarter, which they did a few years ago, and nothing happens? It's like dropping your pants and nobody looks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chronicle was an interesting paper when Scott Newhall ran it in the '60s. He had wild columnists and crusades and stories. They cared about Western history and the environment, and there was a passion to the paper that people picked up on. So people would say, \"What are they up to today?\" At least it's interesting, rather than, \"Oh God, do I have to look at that thing again?\" That's the type of journalism I've always done. Newspapers don't yet reflect the freedom and range of opinion that you're seeing now on the Net, and we're going to start doing that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we were trying to liven up the Examiner, though, the problem we ran into was with the staff. It was like working with the fucking State Department. These people were so insufferably arrogant and full of themselves. Their idea of an important investigative story is the lead in the water in Tulare county and how that went on for 30 years, and in a seven-part story we will investigate how this went on. Sorry, I just don't think that's very interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q. Lead in the water seems to be a legitimate topic and a story people would want covered in the paper.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's nothing wrong with a lead-in-the-water story. But all their stories are lead in the water. It's like, hey, don't you know there are real stories you can find? Or more interesting scandals? Or just make your own news if you can't find anything to report about.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"\u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=VXxZ1UU_EwkC&lpg=PP1&dq=susan%20cheever%20desire&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=susan%20cheever%20desire&f=false\" target=\"_blank\">Desire: Where Sex Meets Addiction\u003c/a>,\" by Susan Cheever, 2009\u003c/strong>: This is an exploration of sexual compulsion.

They include protected bike lanes on Seventh and Eighth streets and improvements on JFK Drive in Golden Park. The San Francisco Bike Coalition called it a \"bold commitment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the guerrilla street cone project?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Rose, a spokesman for the SFMTA, said the cones would have to be removed because they might cause confusion and because only the transportation agency and its contractors are authorized to place infrastructure on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We hear the calls for better bikeways and we couldn't agree more,\" said Rose. \"We do know that we can do more and do it better and faster, and we're getting there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rose said that since 2010, when a judge \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2010/08/06/cyclists-cheer-as-judge-finally-frees-san-francisco-from-bike-injunction/\" target=\"_blank\">lifted an injunction\u003c/a> that had stalled a city plan for improved bike infrastructure, the agency has installed more than 13 miles of protected bikeways and 14 miles of buffered lanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that progress, the San Francisco Transformation Agency activists say much more needs to be done -- especially when it comes to making the city's many high-injury corridors safer. That's why they plan to continue their guerrilla street actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we want is a real commitment top down in the city government to address this, and we want them to stand up and say pedestrian safety and bicycle safety is incredibly important in San Francisco,\" said one of the activists. \"It is central to the quality of life.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It's something that I largely didn't really care about,\" said McManus, who adds that he went back to the scene to study the intersection and has become \"obsessed\" with safe streets issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am feeling a real sense of urgency on this cause. I want the city and tacticians such as the SFMTrA to be making incremental improvements so that we can start making our streets safer today,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he has not taken part in an action, McManus is planning to donate money to support the SFMTrA's work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group has gotten support from \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/JaneKim/status/755088755820638208\" target=\"_blank\">Supervisor Jane Kim\u003c/a>, among others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's great what they're doing,\" said Nicole Ferrara, executive director of Walk San Francisco. \"The group is looking at some of the inadequacies of our streets and how simple things like cones ... can start to make our streets safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Street safety activists have criticized Mayor Ed Lee and city transportation officials for what they've characterized as an inadequate response to pedestrian and cyclist deaths -- criticism that \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/23/two-san-francisco-cyclists-killed-in-hit-and-run-crashes/\" target=\"_blank\">reached a crescendo\u003c/a> after the deaths of Miller and Slattery in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tone changed somewhat last week after \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/08/04/san-francisco-mayor-issues-safe-streets-directive-following-criticism-from-advocates/\" target=\"_blank\">Lee announced\u003c/a> he was \"accelerating\" some Vision Zero projects and ordering improvements in the areas where the two cyclists were recently killed. They include protected bike lanes on Seventh and Eighth streets and improvements on JFK Drive in Golden Park. The San Francisco Bike Coalition called it a \"bold commitment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the guerrilla street cone project?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Rose, a spokesman for the SFMTA, said the cones would have to be removed because they might cause confusion and because only the transportation agency and its contractors are authorized to place infrastructure on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We hear the calls for better bikeways and we couldn't agree more,\" said Rose. \"We do know that we can do more and do it better and faster, and we're getting there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rose said that since 2010, when a judge \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2010/08/06/cyclists-cheer-as-judge-finally-frees-san-francisco-from-bike-injunction/\" target=\"_blank\">lifted an injunction\u003c/a> that had stalled a city plan for improved bike infrastructure, the agency has installed more than 13 miles of protected bikeways and 14 miles of buffered lanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that progress, the San Francisco Transformation Agency activists say much more needs to be done -- especially when it comes to making the city's many high-injury corridors safer. That's why they plan to continue their guerrilla street actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s why taxpayers should not support either of you!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yours disgustedly, Quentin Kopp.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The note was scrawled on stationery with the heading “FYI from Q.L.K.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kopp’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=4581688&GUID=344DFEFE-A84D-4D40-AA71-0BB4AD922AEE\">Ethics Commission application\u003c/a> includes endorsements from Supervisor Norman Yee and the head of an organization that advocates for public ethics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee said in his endorsement that Kopp “will be a knowledgeable, judicious and experienced addition to the Ethics Commission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larry Bush, who runs \u003ca href=\"http://friendsofethics.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Friends of Ethics\u003c/a>, wrote that Kopp “would be the first Ethics Commissioner to have the experience and knowledge that comes from the exact background that is the primary focus of the Ethics Commission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several other supervisors — Scott Wiener, Aaron Peskin and Katy Tang — have expressed support for Kopp’s appointment, which will be considered by the three-member Rules Committee on Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Objectively, there’s nothing unethical in Kopp’s crabby correspondence with Keith, even if it’s dripping with condescension. But it’s worth noting that the code governing behavior of Ethics Commission members includes an injunction to treat “all staff, members of the public, and colleagues with courtesy, respect, objectivity and fairness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking a gratuitous swipe at a perfect stranger who was just doing her job — calling her and her colleague “nauseating,” “moronic” and the like — seems something less than courteous, respectful and judicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One expert on government ethics says the note amounted to “distasteful behavior.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kopp’s decision to personally attack a female reporter for the casual way in which she greeted another female reporter is bizarre,” said Jessica Levinson, president of the Los Angeles Ethics Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed out that Kopp’s message had nothing to do with Keith’s reporting but instead, her manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kopp is welcome to like or dislike whoever he wants, but it’s curious that he decided to disparage a reporter for the way in which she greets a colleague,” Levinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the way, Kopp did not respond to multiple requests for comment about his note to Keith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now we’re on the lookout for an FYI from Q.L.K.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The measure is expected to get its first hearing next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisors Mark Farrell, Scott Wiener, Norman Yee, Jane Kim and London Breed do not plan to vote for the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During a time when it’s looking increasingly like we’re heading towards a recession, to put a job-killing tax on the ballot is the worst idea I can think of,” said Supervisor Mark Farrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An aide to Supervisor Kim, who tends to vote with the more progressive side of the board, said it’s unlikely she’ll vote for the proposal in its current state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Kim, who’s running against Wiener for a seat in the State Senate, said it addresses the kinds of problems that need to be solved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The proposal reflects the deep divide in our city as a few have prospered while so many are pushed out by rising costs,” Kim said in an email. “There is a growing problem that requires creative solutions that we can all support regardless of the industry in which you work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor John Avalos, one of the most progressive members of the board, has yet to make a decision, according to one of his aides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“John plans to make a decision when all of the various proposed taxes are before the Board,” said Jeremy Pollock. “He’s concerned about overloading the ballot with too many taxes and he’s hoping the board can winnow down the list some.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A representative for Mayor Ed Lee is adamant in opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why are we punishing businesses for creating jobs?” mayoral spokeswoman Deirdre Hussey asked. “This job-killing ballot measure puts San Francisco’s economic stability at risk and will return this city back to the days of the Great Recession. Rather than scapegoat a sector of our economy, we should be working together to find solutions to housing and homelessness, such as the sales tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group representing tech companies also criticized the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Supervisor Mar should know better,” said Alex Tourk, a spokesman for \u003ca href=\"https://sfciti.org/\">San Francisco Citizens Initiative for Technology and Innovation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Extorting more money from an industry who has helped ensure that we have the lowest unemployment rate in the country is ludicrous,” Tourk said. “We need engagement and innovative partnerships to solve this problem, not finger-pointing and divisiveness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Add the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce to the list of forces expected to battle the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This sends a terrible message to the business community that the city is not a good partner,” said Juliana Bunim, a chamber spokeswoman. “Singling out one industry and punishing its success is not the way to create and maintain a thriving economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the proposed tax makes it to the November ballot, it would need a two-thirds majority of votes to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One longtime housing advocate in a neighborhood that’s seen the high-profile arrival of a number of tech firms says it’s unlikely the tax will pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it has no chance,” said Randy Shaw, director of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic. “It raises questions why we are taxing tech and not large insurance companies, banks and oil companies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City tax breaks for some tech companies have been \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/04/05/watch-live-sf-supervisors-vote-on-twitter-tax-break\" target=\"_blank\">the subject of controversy\u003c/a> in recent years.
