He says you can't record this; that would be against the law.  (needs quotation marks)

Here're my suggestions:

Dave Ridley Harrassed:
"but woe be the" -> "but woe to the" or "but woe be to the"

"Another friend who was meeting with Dave" -> "Another friend who was to meet with Dave" or "Another friend who was waiting to meet with Dave"


Another Change for The Keene Free Press:
"and ask us to run an ad for you the print edition" -> "and ask us to run an ad for you, the print edition"


The Vanishing Right to Travel:
The paragraph headers are in the same format as the body text, which is somewhat confusing until the reader realizes what the disjointed phrases actually are. (e.g. "As old as the Magna Carta" through "The systematic destruction of a precious right"
(Side note - US travellers didn't need a passport to re-enter the USA until the 1950s?? Interesting.)
