Question: In-tect citation help. Is this correct? Am I missing something? The American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU) located in San Francisco is a coalition that fights for the homeless’s civil liberties. Dorothy Ehrlich, local ACLU Executive Director, argues that “A policy that allows the city to seize and destroy the property of homeless people not only violates their constitutional rights, but punishes people simply for being poor” (San Francisco Chronicle A-28).\n\nNote: I have San Francisco in italics on my original paper.

Answer: Assuming this is APA format and that the reference came directly from the Chronicle and not a secondary source the correct citation should be:\n\nThe American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU) located in San Francisco is a coalition that fights for the homeless’s civil liberties. Dorothy Ehrlich (2006, January 21), local ACLU Executive Director, argues that “A policy that allows the city to seize and destroy the property of homeless people not only violates their constitutional rights, but punishes people simply for being poor” San Francisco Chronicle, p. A-28.
