The February 17, 1967 issue of Life. In which Ed Sanders
appears along with Yevgeny Yevtushencko, F. Lee Bailey, Lauren Hutton and Lou
Alcindor. The cover story concerns Happenings, the experimental art of the
emerging "Other Culture" as writer Barry Farrell discovers it in
London, Tokyo and New York. In Clearly, there is something happening - as the blue borders of Life slurp down in Pollack slashes across the insert foto. With trade-mark good humor, Sanders is awaiting trial on obscenity charges related
to the Peace Eye Bookstore and Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts. The magazine is not mentioned by name, nor is
Sanders' group, The Fugs. Sanders was a central figure in the 1960s Avant-garde
scene of New York City for activity in music, poetry, publishing, film and
performance poetry (perf-po). (Thanks to Jeff Hull.)
