ABSOLUTION (AUGUST 1977)

Republicans accused me of taking a picture they didn’t like, and questioned me. I denied taking the picture. Subsequently the word on the grapevine was that if I tried to cover a certain funeral I was to be ‘made an example of’. This was the first time I went back to a republican rally after the threat.
