RAMPARTS: One of the most explosive indy magazines
of the 1960s, Ramparts published photos of
the impact of U.S. napalm (a chemical weapon that eats away human flesh) on
Vietnamese civilians in its Jan. 1967 issue. Martin Luther King, Jr. credited
those photos with being the spark that got him to break his silence and speak
out loudly against the Vietnam War a few months later. Besides its
investigative scoops and dramatic story-telling, Ramparts was
known for its cover art, shown here and here.
"DR. HIP": Syndicated widely to
"underground weeklies," Dr. Eugene Schoenfeld dispensed blunt and
humorous advice about sex (and drugs). That legacy is carried on by Dan
Savage's "Savage Love"
column in today's alternative weeklies. Savage started the "It Gets Better" project.
