Stewart Edward "Stew" Albert (4. december 1939 - 30. januar 2006) var et tidligt medlem af Yippierne , en anti-Vietnamkrigspolitisk aktivist og en vigtig skikkelse i New Left- bevægelsen i 1960'erne. Født i Sheepshead Bay- sektionen i Brooklyn , New York, til en medarbejder i New York City , havde han et relativt konventionelt politisk liv i sin ungdom, skønt han var blandt dem, der protesterede mod henrettelsen af Caryl Chessman . Han dimitterede fra Pace University , hvor han studerede politik og filosofi og arbejdede et stykke tid for City of New York velfærdsafdeling. I 1965 forlod han New York til San Francisco , hvor han mødte digteren Allen Ginsberg i City Lights Bookstore . Inden for få dage var han frivillig i Vietnam Day Committee i Berkeley, Californien . Det var der, han mødte Jerry Rubin og Abbie Hoffman , med hvem han medstifter Youth International Party eller Yippies. Han mødte også Bobby Seale og andre Black Panther Party- medlemmer der og blev en politisk aktivist på fuld tid. Rubin sagde engang, at Albert var en bedre underviser end de fleste professorer. Blandt de mange aktiviteter, han deltog i med Yippierne, var at smide penge fra balkonen på New York Stock Exchange , Pentagon's eksorsisme og præsidentkampagnen fra 1968 af en gris ved navn Pigasus . Han blev arresteret ved forstyrrelserne uden for Den Demokratiske Nationale Konvention i 1968 og blev udnævnt som en uindikeret medsammensvorne i Chicago Seven- sagen. Hans kone, Judy Gumbo Albert, hævdede ifølge hans New York Times nekrolog, at dette var fordi han arbejdede som korrespondent for Berkeley Barb .

Open access: Radical Americas is a peer-reviewed open access journal. Abstract This paper looks specifically at two influential newspapers of the American underground press during the 1960s. Using the Berkeley Barb and the San Francisco Oracle, the paper proposes two arguments: first, that the inability of the countercultural press to envisage real alternatives to sexuality and sex roles stifled any wider attempt within the countercultural movement to address concerns around gender relations; and second, the limitation of the ‘radical’ imagination invites us to question the extent to which these papers can be considered radical or countercultural.

His central role in keeping Putin in power in Russia is documented by Curtis through collages of archival BBC footage and newsreels, and some scenes shot for the film. It is accompanied by Curtis’ bold and highly distinctive commentary. Surkov’s background in avant-gardetheatre is highlighted and portrayed as reaching right into the heart Russian politics by turning politics into a strange theatre where nobody knows what is true and what is fake any longer. Reality can be manipulated and shaped into anything you want it to be. Creative Commons License This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.

NalZe 27Jz JI I(itr. ~ .on a7zr;t S, "8 alZ ch ,t 2t8"e,. To Nancy, Dope, Color TV, and Violent Revolution! JERRY RUBIN is the leader of 850 million Yippies. In a previous life Jerry was a sports reporter and a straight college student. He dropped out, visited Cuba and moved to Berkeley where he became known as the P. T. Barnum of the revolution, organizing spectacular events such as marathon Vietnam Day marches, teach-ins, International Days of Protest. Jerry lived for three years near the University of California working as an Outside Agitator to destroy the university. He ran for Mayor of Berkeley and came within one heart attack of winning in a four-man race. Jerry moved to New York in October 1967 and became Project Director of the March on the Pentagon. He appeared before "witch-hunt" committees of Congress dressed as an American Revolutionary War soldier, a bare-chested, armed guerrilla and Santa Claus. With Abbie Hoffman, Jerry created the Yippies as a fusion between the hippies and the New Left, and helped mJ>f>ilize the demonstrations during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August 1968. The U.S. Government indicted Jerry and seven other revolutionaries for conspiracy to destroy the Democratic Convention, resulting in "The Conspiracy," perhaps the most important political trial in the history of the country. Jerry wants to hear your reactions to this book.
