Sweathog Newshawks, The (Welcome Back, Kotter #2) by William Johnston - Vintage Paperback

It all started innocently enough. Freddie Boom-Boom Washington wrote a story for the school newspaper. It told of the school's brilliant basketball star, a super-cool, super-baaaad dude who does it all - Freddie Boom-Boom Washington. When, for no good reason at all it was rejected, the sweathogs decided to do something about this injustice.

Mr. Kotter made the mistake of telling the sweathogs about freedom of the press, and what started out as a minor issue became a first edition - the beginning of the Sweathog Press. Its motto is: Give the Readers What They Want, and What They Want is Human Tragedy, Crime, and Sex. Does it sell? You bet it does!
