LITTLE DUBLIN NEWS
LITTLE DUBLIN NEWS. Controversial monthly paper edited by Clarence W. “Rainbow” DUFFY. Duffy began publishing the paper in 1980. The original twenty copies grew by 1983 to a monthly publication of 1,100 copies. It was reported that eight hundred copies of the publication were mailed to thirty states with at least one copy reaching Taiwan.
Duffy later said the purpose of the publication was to preserve the spirit he found on Dubuque's south side when growing up. Readers were treated to pictures of old-time Dubuque, anecdotes, and humor (which some found objectionable).
