Description: Recognized as the first underground newspaper, the LA Free Press covers political issues from an independent, anti-establishment perspective. It also features movie and book reviews, astrology, theater, food, and a welfare advocacy and medical advice column. Issues in the collection contain articles on counterculture events and personalities such as Woodstock, the Stones and Altamount, John and Yoko, and interviews with Charles Manson and Allen Ginsberg. Because the paper covers such a wide variety of topics, it is an excellent source for cultural and historical information.
