Question

Description acceptable. A man recounted his time doing this action in an autobiography whose first chapter explains why the saddest thing he can think of is Richard Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries”. The article “Honor is Like the Hawk”, published by the far-right newspaper New Frontiersman, defended people performing this action against criticism from the magazine (15[1])Nova Express. The term “Spirit of ‘77” refers to when police officers across the East Coast went on strike in 1977 to protest the increase in this (15[1])action. After giving up (15[1]-5[1])this action, (*) Hollis Mason (10[1])opened a car repair shop and wrote the memoir Under the Hood. (10[1])This action was outlawed by the Keene Act, though it exempted government-sponsored figures like The Comedian. For 10 points, name this primary action performed by Walter Kovacs, who wore a shifting black-and-white mask when using the alias Rorschach. ■END■ (10[1])
