It was noted for its leftist leanings and early opposition to the Vietnam War. This issue includes Linus Pauling's "The Dirt Work of 'Clean' A-Bombs," the editor's expose about Nazi officials still holding diplomatic positions, and the poem "A Meditation on the Flag 1862-1962" by noted social protest poet and fine press printer JOHN BEECHER (1904-80) -- whose personal copy this is.

A typically fiery free verse Beecher production, this poem compares Barbara Fritchie's Civil War flag incident with the political situation of 1962, closing with: "Haul down the stars and stripes! Run up the flag / we really serve -- black, with the skull and bones!" A lovely contributor's copy.…
