books a more lawless search-and-destroy raid.'" In a widely publicized case former editor Burns was sentenced to prison in 1972 for 10 years and a day for possession of marijuana, but the sentence was commuted by Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe. Time magazine reported that, "The law in Dallas, from all appearances, had been bent on getting Stoney Burns for years." In his book, Unamerican Activities: The Campaign Against the Underground Press, Geoffrey Rips wrote that the "persistent persecution of Burns stemmed in part from [his] 1967 investigative report in Dallas Notes about Texas Congressman Joe Pool's arrest for drunken driving, after his car hit a carload of soldiers at a red light." Pool was released and the arrest records destroyed, and the story was ignored by the Dallas daily newspapers. Pool, who was a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee, called for an investigation of the underground papers. In October 1972, Burns, founded Buddy magazine, a free bi-monthly named after Buddy Holly that covered, among other things, the rock-n-roll and blues scene in North Texas.
