Why, it's relativity, my dear.
The African American themed tabloid It's Happening offers a cover from today in 1970 informing readers that a man raped his own wife, who was his daughter, who was his granddaughter. Try to wrap your head around that one. The story is that an orphaned girl passes her much younger sister off as her daughter in order to make her a legal dependent, and the fake-but-legally-recognized daughter later marries an older man she has no idea is her biological father. Thus she's the man's daughter by blood and granddaughter by law. The rape triggers the investigation that brings all this to light. The tale is, of course, written in the style of bad fiction but passed off as news, which was generally how these papers worked. We have several full issues of It's Happening inside the website, and you can find those at our tabloid index here.
