Famous Long Ago Archive
Famous Long Ago Collection, ca.1960-2005.
Ray Mungo's Famous Long Ago (1970) and Steve Diamond's What the Trees Said (1971) are classic visions of late 1960s counterculture and of life in New England communes. The communes on which Mungo and Diamond settled, Packer Corner and the Montague Farm, became the center of what might be considered a single extended community, embracing the Wendell Farm and Johnson Pasture and Tree Frog Farm in Vermont. The Farmers themselves were, and remain, a diverse group, including photographers, novelists, and poets, artists, actors, and activists.
An umbrella collection, the Famous Long Ago Archive contains a growing number of collections relating to the communes at Montague Farm, Packer Corners, Johnson Pasture, Wendell Farm, and Tree Frog Farm. These range from the papers of Steve Diamond, Raymond Mungo, and Jonathan Maslow to Randy Kehler and Betsy Corner (the latter of whom lived at Montague Farm), the records of the Liberation News Service, the Alternative Energy Coalition, and Musicians United for Safe Energy, to the photographic collections of Roy Finestone and Stephen Josephs.

Roy Finestone Photograph Collection, 1969-1990.
Call no.: PH 005
A wave of experimentation in communal living in New England reached a peak in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with dozens of communities spread across the landscape of western Massachusetts and Vermont. Nina Finestone joined the Johnson Pastures in Guilford , Vermont, in 1969, however after the main house there went up in flames on April 16, 1970, killing four people, she joined a number of its residents who moved to the nearby Montague Farm in Montague, Massachusetts. Nina married a fellow Montague farmer, Daniel Keller, and the couple moved to Wendell in 1980.
Providing exceptional visual documentation of life at Johnson Pasture, the Montague Farm, and Wendell Farm between 1969 and 1990, the Finestone collection is centered on the lives and family of Daniel and Nina Keller. All images were taken by Roy Finestone, Nina's father, with a medium format camera using color transparency film.

Raymond Mungo Papers, 1966-2008.
Call no.: MS 659
Born in a "howling blizzard" in February 1946, Raymond Mungo became one of the most evocative writers of the 1960s counterculture. Through more than fifteen books and hundreds of articles, Mungo has brought a wry sense of humor and radical sensibility to explorations of the minds and experiences of the generation that came of age against a backdrop of the struggles for civil rights and economic justice, of student revolts, Black Power, resistance to war, and experimentation in communal living.
Consisting of the original typescripts and manuscripts of ten of Raymond Mungo's books, along with corrected and uncorrected galleys and a small number of letters from publishers. Among the other materials in the collection are thirteen photographs of Mungo taken by Clif Garboden and Peter Simon during and immediately after his undergraduate years at Boston University; a DVD containing motion pictures of life at Packer Corners in 1969 and 1977; and an irate letter from a writer regarding the status of poems he had submitted to Liberation News Service.

Slonecker, Blake, 1981-
Blake Slonecker Collection, 2008.
Call no.: MS 795
An historian of twentieth century social movements, Blake Slonecker received his doctorate at the University of North Carolina in 2009 and joined the history faculty at Waldorf College soon thereafter. In a dissertation examining the utopian impulses of the New Left (published in 2012 as A new dawn for the New Left: Liberation News Service, Montague Farm, and the long sixties), Slonecker explored how the political and cultural activism of the 1960s helped reshape American political culture in the decade following.
In June 2008, Slonecker conducted oral historical interviews with four individuals who were part of the extended community centered on the Montague Farm and Packer Corners communes during the late 1960s: Tom Fels, Charles Light, Sam Lovejoy, and Richard Wizansky. In wide-ranging interviews, the former communards discuss topics ranging from the fraught politics of the era, political and cultural activism, gender roles and sexuality, and daily life on the communes.

Dalsimer, Susan
Part of: Famous Long Ago Archive
Susan Dalsimer Papers, 1969-1970.
Call no.: MS 578
Famous Long Ago launched the literary career of Raymond Mungo with a splash, but even before the book had reached the shelves, he turned to his next project. In October 1969, Mungo began planning for a memoir of his life at the Packer Corners commune. Soon entitled Total Loss Farm, the book would become a classic in the literature of the 1960s counterculture. Signing a contract in November with E.P. Dutton, he worked with a young and sympathetic editor, Susan Stern (later Susan Dalsimer).
This small, but rich collection consists of a series of letters between Raymond Mungo and his editor at E.P. Dutton, Susan Stern, regarding his ideas on writing and life. Beginning in October 1969 with editorial commentary on Famous Long Ago and Mungo's additions, the Dalsimer Papers offer insight into the development of Total Loss Farm from concept to printed page.

Levy, Donald
Part of: The American Revolution Documentary Collection
Donald Levy Papers, 1966-1987.
Call no.: MS 878
The co-owner with Alan Peterson of Krackerjacks, a psychedelic clothing store in Boston, Donald "Jack" Levy grew the boutique he started in 1966 into a staple of the counterculture in the Boston area and eventually a franchise. Levy was at the center of a controversy in Cambridge when the city tried to ban "obscene" buttons. Though several stores removed the buttons, Levy refused and with community support, fought the city's ban. Levy also opened several clothing stores in the Boston-area: Garbo, a women's clothing store; Dazzle in 1973, a vintage clothing store; Goods in 1976, a natural fiber and novelty store; and purchased and refurbished the Blue Diner in 1986 (now the South Street Diner). He currently owns diners in Newton, Framingham, and Watertown Mass.
The Donald Levy Papers contain ephemera, photographs, and clippings primarily documenting Krackerjacks as well as Levy's other clothing stores and the opening of Blue Diner. Of particular interest is a petition circulated by Levy during the city's attempt to ban "obscene" buttons. Included among the signatures is a 15-year-old Jonathan Richman, who called the button ban, "an example of lingering Victorianism."

November 3, 2014, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Lower Level, W.E.B. Du Bois Library
"A Long and Winding Road: The legacy of the back-to-the-land communes of the 1960s," will explore the nearly forty year history of some of the region's best known communes: Montague Farm and Wendell Farms nearby in Massachusetts, and Packer Corners and Tree Frog Farms in neighboring southern Vermont. All were partners in the back-to-the-land movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s; all have survived into the current era. The colloquium's four speakers, who have each spent much of the intervening years on or near one of the four farms, represent each of these idealistic enterprises, as well as offering their own specific views. What have they learned from their long years in service to their ideals? Was the altruism of the counterculture era borne out in the experiences they faced later? Would they recommend the route of alternative life to the youth and radicals of today?
The sources of inspiration that led to the creation of these communities and the evidence of their later influence are documented by SCUA. The Famous Long Ago archive was formed to collect, preserve, and make available materials relating to the communes at Montague Farm, Packer Corners, Johnson Pasture, Wendell Farm, and Tree Frog Farm. Collections range from from the papers of writers Steve Diamond, Raymond Mungo, and Jonathan Maslow to those of anti-war activists Randy Kehler and Betsy Corner; from the records of the Liberation News Service, the organization that spawned the farms, to the Alternative Energy Coalition, and Musicians United for Safe Energy, later enterprises of the region's communal farmer-activists. It also includes the photographic collections of farm parent Roy Finestone, photojournalist Lionel Delevingne, and former head of a neighboring Montague ashram, Stephen Josephs.

Verandah Porche, a forty-year resident of Packer Corners Farm (known to the reading public, through the works of Ray Mungo and others, as Total Loss Farm) works as a poet-in-residence, performer, and writing partner. Based in rural Vermont since 1968, she has published three volumes of poetry – Sudden Eden (Verdant Books), The Body's Symmetry (Harper and Row) and Glancing Off (See Through Books) – and has pursued an alternative literary career, creating collaborative writing projects in nontraditional settings: literacy and crisis centers, hospitals, factories, nursing homes, senior centers, a 200 year-old Vermont tavern, and an urban working class neighborhood. Broad Brook Anthology, a play for voices, honors the lives of elders in her home town of Guilford, Vermont. Listening Out Loud documents her residency with Real Art Ways in Hartford, Connecticut. Come Over is a CD of songs written with her neighbor Patty Carpenter, performed by the Dysfunctional Family Jazz band. She has read her work on NPR stations, in the Vermont State House, and at the Guggenheim Museum. In 1998 the Vermont Arts Council presented her with its Award of Merit, and Marlboro College, in 2012, an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters.
Susan Mareneck arrived in the Pioneer Valley in the mid 1960s, and spent her college years engaged in civil rights and anti-war activities, majoring Art and Political Science. After experiencing Montague Farm for several months in its early days, she settled into an unrenovated 18th century farmhouse in nearby Leverett, a building without heat or running water. Improving it slowly but concertedly over the years, she returned regularly to the house for vacations and summers, and has remained a neighbor of Montague Farm and a member of its extended family ever since. Decamping after several years for a graduate degree in art, and finally a move to New York, she spent 30 years making art and teaching it at the Spence School and the Convent of the Sacred Heart, on New York's upper east side, before returning to western Massachusetts in 2009 to work full time with families in Turners Falls as Executive Director at Montague Catholic Social Ministries. Living three blocks from Ground Zero, Susan saw her world change forever on 9/11. Her turn from education to social work reflects her long interest in non-profits and the role of faith in social change. Her work in that area has included projects directed toward employment, racism, educational policy, and prisons. She has exhibited, lectured, and published in the visual arts and historic preservation, and remains active in organizing the local history of her town, North Leverett, Mass.
John Scagliotti is an Emmy Award-winning American film director, producer, and radio broadcaster. He has received honors for his work on documentaries about LGBT issues including Before Stonewall and After Stonewall. During the 1970s, Scagliotti was the News and Public Affairs Director of the pioneering radio station WBCN-FM in Boston. For his work in radio, he was awarded two Major Armstrong Awards. In the early 1980s, he attended New York University Film School and went on to create In the Life for PBS, the first gay and lesbian national television series in the United States. The Scagliotti-produced documentary film Before Stonewall (1985) won the Audience Award at L.A. Outfest and two Emmies. Scagliotti directed a companion piece, After Stonewall, which won a Golden Eagle and the Audience Award at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Scagliotti is openly gay. His partner for 24 years was the late, highly regarded journalist Andrew Kopkind. Together they produced the radio show The Lavender Hour. Scagliotti is a longtime resident of the Kopkind Colony, an activist community housed at Tree Frog Farm, a close neighbor to Packer Corners Farm in Guilford, Vermont. The Kopkind Colony holds an educational summer residency program for nonpartisan, independent journalists and community organizers. In addition, the Colony fosters public education through publication of its lectures and the hosting of open forums on contemporary issues held at Tree Frog Farm and in other educational centers around the country.
Daniel Keller, a founder of Wendell Farm, in Wendell Massachusetts, has lived there, keeping it a working organic farm, since its inception in 1969. In collaboration with Charles Light, a former communard of the Johnson Pasture and Montague Farm, Keller's Green Mountain Post Films, with offices in nearby Turners Falls, has produced and distributed award-winning films for more than twenty-five years. GMP's first documentary Lovejoy's Nuclear War, released in 1975, about Montague Farm activist Sam Lovejoy, was one of the first films to question the nuclear energy policy of the United States. Since then GMP Films has continued to produce movies that explore social issues, Its films have been used as educational and organizational tools for activists working on peace, veteran, nuclear, environmental, and other related issues. GMP films include: The Last Resort (1978), and Save the Planet (1979), both on nuclear issues; The Secret Agent (1983), on Agent Orange; and Unknown Secrets (1990), on the reaction of artists and writers to the arrest, trial, and execution of accused spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. For Vietnam Experience Keller and Light teamed up with musician Country Joe McDonald to bring viewers closer to the reality of the Vietnam War. Cannabis Rising is an early investigation into the issues surrounding marijuana today so much in the news.
Timothy Miller is a longtime student of communal living, professor of religious studies at the University of Kansas, and author of The Hippies and American Values (1991), The Quest for Utopia in Twentieth-Century America (1998), The Sixties Communes: Hippies and Beyond (1999). His course offerings include a history of intentional communities in America; American religious history; and an overview of new and alternative religious movements in the United States. Miller's major research focus is the history of intentional communities in America, especially in the twentieth century. For his work in this area, Professor Miller has been recognized by the Communal Studies Association as a distinguished scholar. Additional areas of research interest include American religious history, new and alternative religious movements in the United States, and religion in Kansas. Professor Miller also coordinates the Religion in Kansas Oral History Project. His most recent publications include The Encyclopedic Guide to American Intentional Communities (Richard Couper Press), Spiritual and Visionary Communities: Out to Save the World (Ashgate Publishing), as well as the second edition of The Hippies and American Values (University of Tennessee Press), and the second edition of Following In His Steps: A Biography of Charles M. Sheldon (University of Tennessee Press). Through Miller's work on American communes, he has long been familiar with the extended farm family at the center of the current symposium. In a recent book review, taking in the larger field in which he is involved, he wrote, "…it can be safely said that Montague Farm has the best published record of any of the communes."
Author Tom Fels and media artist Mark Tribe will speak on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., in Room 2601 on Floor 26, of the Du Bois Library at UMass Amherst. The event, "Peace and War: Assessing the Legacies of Sixties Activism Today," marks the completion of the eighth annual Social Change Colloquium.
Longtime independent writer and researcher Tom Fels' new book Buying the Farm: Peace and War on a Sixties Commune (UMass Press, 2012) explores the long history of Montague Farm, north of Amherst, one of the era's iconic experiments in social change. Before drawing his own conclusions about it in the book, he recounts the farm's many early contributions to the counterculture, and later the farm's devolution at the hands of competing farm-family factions, inviting us to question the balance between idealism and effectiveness. "For today's young," says Tom Hayden, author of The Long Sixties, "the economic future is far more bleak and global warming an unprecedented threat. Out of necessity, many will be searching for meaningful forms of communal self-sufficiency, healthful food, and renewable energy. Tom Fels' captivating and profound reflection on one earlier commune, Montague Farm, founded in the 1960s, offers hard-learned reflections, some practical, some eternal, from a time when communes were the chosen path of many." In the first hour of the colloquium Fels will read from Buying the Farm. There will be a question and answer period following the reading.
Mark Tribe is part of the next generation to be inspired by sixties activism. His Port Huron Project (2006-2009) is a series of reenactments of protest speeches from the New Left movements of the Vietnam era. Enacted at the site of the original event, each speech was delivered by an actor or performance artist. Videos of these performances have been screened on campuses, exhibited in art spaces, and distributed online as open-source media. As Julia Bryan-Wilson wrote in Artforum, in January 2008, "More than just recovering the past, these re-speaking projects use archival speeches to ask questions about the current place of stridency and forceful dissent, and the possibilities of effective, galvanizing political discourse." In bringing the words of Cesar Chavez, Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael, and others to the public through contemporary media, Tribe, in this portion of his work, creatively recycles earlier activism to relate it to issues of today. In the second hour of the colloquium, Tribe will show and discuss some of his work.
Delevingne will discuss the mass media's role in the nuclear power issue and his own responsibility before and after the Three Mile Island accident and Chernobyl disaster. Anna Gyorgy will discuss citizen action and democracy, with international examples based on her work with the Clamshell Alliance, and, more recently, with the strong German anti-nuclear/pro-solar movements.
New England was an epicenter of the antinuclear movement of the 1970s and 1980s. Sparked by the proposed construction of nuclear power plants in Montague, Massachusetts, and Seabrook, New Hampshire, a grass-roots movement blossomed in the region, drawing on a long tradition of non-violent political protest. Shortly after arriving in the United States from his native France in 1975, the photojournalist Lionel Delevingne began covering the antinuclear movement, including the history of civil disobedience and occupation at Seabrook, the aftermath of the Three Mile Island disaster, and other protests from New York to South Carolina and Europe.
Delevingne is the co-author of Drylands, a Rural American Saga (University of Nebraska Press, 2011); Northampton: Reflections on Paradise (Nouveau Monde Press, 1988); and Franco-American Viewpoints (Nouveau Monde Press/Wistariahurst Museum, 1988). His work has been exhibited frequently in the U.S. and abroad and published widely in the mainstream and alternative press, including the New York Times, Newsweek, Mother Jones, Vanity Fair, Le Figaro Magazine, and Die Zeit. Delevingne has participated in many award-winning projects sponsored by National Endowment of the Arts/Humanities (NEA), Massachusetts Endowment for the Humanities, University & College Designers Association (UCDA), University Professional & Continuing Education Association (UPCEA), and Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).
Anna Gyorgy was active in the early movement against nuclear power, and is the author-editor of the classic work NO NUKES: Everyone's Guide to Nuclear Power (South End Press, 1979/1981). She is in the process of returning to the U.S. after 25 years abroad, where she has since 1999 coordinated the multi-lingual website project: "Women and Life on Earth" (www.wloe.org).
The related exhibit "To the Village Square" includes some of the movement's most memorable images, shot by Delevingne, along with materials drawn from the rich anti-nuclear collections held in the UMass Amherst Libraries' Department of Special Collections and University Archives.
Why These Stories Need to be Told in their Variety, their Intensity and their Honesty" (Nov. 10)
Social justice activist Tom Weiner will give a talk on his recently published book Called to Serve: Stories of Men and Women Confronted by the Vietnam War Draft. The book is the fruit of years of extensive interviews with chapters for people who made different choices among the available options: to serve, to resist, to leave the country, to become a conscientious objector, or to find a way around the draft altogether as well as a chapter for those who loved, counseled and supported. His presentation will include several of his interview subjects who will share parts of their testimonies. Weiner recently donated the tapes of the interviews and the transcripts to Special Collections and University Archives.
On Friday, October 1, Steve Lerner will talk about his new book Sacrifice Zones: The Front Lines of Toxic Chemical Exposure in the United States. The event will be held from 1.30-3pm in the Gordon Hall, 418 N. Pleasant Street, Amherst.
Across the United States, thousands of people, most of them in low-income or minority communities, live next to heavily polluting industrial sites. Many of them reach a point at which they say "Enough is enough." In Sacrifice Zones, published by MIT Press in 2010, Steve Lerner tells the stories of twelve communities, from Brooklyn to Pensacola, that rose up to fight the industries and military bases causing disproportionately high levels of chemical pollution.
Steve Lerner is research director of Commonweal and the author of Eco-Pioneers: Practical Visionaries Solving Today's Environmental Problems.
This event is co-sponsored by the Political Economy Research Institute's Environmental Working Group and Special Collections & University Archives
On Thurs. October 28, Amy Bass will talk on "Whose Broad Stripes and Bright Stars? The 1968 Olympics and the Creation of the Black Athlete," in Room 803, Campus Center, UMass Amherst. The event is co-sponsored by the Feinberg Family Lecture Series organized by the UMass Amherst Department of History, and is free and open to the public.
Amy Bass is professor of history at the College of New Rochelle. She is the author of Not the Triumph But the Struggle: 1968 Olympics and the Making of the Black Athlete and Those About Him Remained Silent: The Battle over W. E. B. Du Bois. She is the editor of In the Game: Race, Identity, and Sports in the Twentieth Century. Bass has an M.A. and a Ph.D. in history from Stony Brook University. Her research interests include African American history, modern American culture, identity politics, and historical theory and methodology. She has served as research supervisor for the NBC Olympic unit at the Atlanta, Sydney, Salt Lake, Athens, and Torino Olympic Games.
Dr. Bass's talk will explore the black power protest at the Mexico City Olympic Games by Americans Tommie Smith and John Carlos in 1968. Their moment on the victory dais effectively linked American sports and racial politics in the U.S. She will examine how the black power protest in Mexico became the defining image of the 1968 Olympics. She will also explore how the Olympic Project for Human Rights mobilized black athletes to assume a new set of responsibilities alongside their athletic prowess, forcing Americans, and the world, to reconsider the role of sports within civil rights movements.
- Speaker:
- Raymond Mungo
- Raymond Mungo was a key figure in the literary world of the late 1960s counterculture. A founder of the Liberation News Service — an alternative press agency that distributed news reflecting a left-oriented, antiwar, countercultural perspective — Mungo moved to Vermont during the summer of 1968 and settled on a commune. A novelist and writer, his first book, Famous Long Ago: My Life and Hard Times With Liberation News Service (1970) is considered a classic account of the countercultural left, and his follow-up Total Loss Farm (1971), based on his experiences on the Packer Corners commune, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Mungo has written several novels, screenplays, dozens of essays, and hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles during a literary career of more than four decades. For the past ten years, he has worked as a social worker in Los Angeles, tending primarily to AIDS patients and the severely mentally ill.
- Todd Gitlin
- While a college student in the early 1960s, Todd Gitlin rose to national prominence as a writer and theorist of the New Left. A president of Students for a Democratic Society in 1963-1964, he was a central figure in the civil rights and antiwar movements, helping to organize the first national mobilization against the war in Vietnam, the March on Washington of 1965. After receiving degrees from the University of Michigan and the University of California Berkeley, Gitlin joined the faculty at Columbia University, where he is currently Professor of Journalism and Sociology and Chair of the doctoral program in Communications. Over the past thirty years, he has written extensively on mass communication, the media, and journalism. The author of twelve books, Gitlin is today a noted public intellectual and prominent critic of both the left and right in American politics, arguing that pragmatic coalition building should replace ideological purity and criticizing the willingness of those on both sides to use violence to reach ends to power.
- Talk II:
- Thurs, Oct. 29, 2009, 4 p.m., Blake Slonecker, Assistant Professor of History at Waldorf College, will present a talk, "Living the Moment: Liberation News Service, Montague Farm, and the New Left, 1967-1981.

- Junius Williams
- Writer and activist.
- Parker Donham
- Journalist and former press secretary for Eugene McCarthy
- Speaker:
- Tom Hayden
- Fmr President of Students for a Democratic Society
For nearly fifty years, Tom Hayden's name has been synonymous with social change. As a founding member of the Students for a Democratic Society in 1961, he was author of its visionary call, the Port Huron Statement, the touchstone for a generation of activists. As a Freedom Rider in the Deep South in the early 1960s, he was arrested and beaten in rural Georgia and Mississippi. As a community organizer in Newark's inner city in 1964, he was part of an effort to create a national poor people's campaign for jobs and empowerment.
When the Vietnam War invaded American lives, Hayden became a prominent voice in opposition, organizing teach-ins and demonstrations, writing, and making one of the first trips to Hanoi in 1965 to meet with the other side. One of the leaders of the street demonstrations against the war at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention, he was one of eight organizers indicted — and eventually acquitted — on charges of conspiracy and incitement.
After the political system opened in the 1970s, Hayden organized the grass-roots Campaign for Economic Democracy in California, which won dozens of local offices and shut down a nuclear power plant through a referendum for the first time. He was elected to the California state assembly in 1982, and the state senate ten years later, serving eighteen years in all, and he has twice served on the national platform committee of the Democratic Party.
- Panelists:
- Johnny Flynn, Tim Koster, Sheila Lennon, Karen Smith
As part of its annual Colloquium on Social Change, the Department of Special Collections and University Archives of UMass Amherst presents a panel discussion and readings from a new book, Time it Was: American Stories from the Sixties, a set of short memoirs written by people who participated in a wide variety of Sixties-era movements and events. Join us for speakers Johnny Flynn (American Indian Movement), Sheila Lennon (Woodstock), Tim Koster (Draft Lottery "Winner" and Conscientious Objector), and Karen Manners Smith, who spent five years in a religious cult.
For students, the readings and discussion provide an opportunity to hear stories that move beyond Sixties mythology towards an appreciation of the real — but no less exciting — experiences of young people in that tumultuous era. Non-students and members of the Five College and surrounding communities will find this panel discussion a chance to reconnect with their own memories of the period.

Call no.: PH 057
Born in Reading, Mass., on Sept 13, 1948, Jeff Albertson was still a student at Boston University, working on the staff of the BU News, when he was hired as a photographer by the Boston Globe. Reflecting the youth culture of the late 1960s and early 1970s, his photographs earned him positions with several prominent Boston alternative media outlets. Covering news, music, and the political interests of his generation, he served as photo editor for the Boston Phoenix and associate publisher for the Real Paper, and his work appeared regularly in mainstream publications such as Rolling Stone, People, and Boston Magazine. After becoming photo editor for the Medical Tribune News Group and moving to New York City in the 1980s, he met and married Charlene Laino. In later years, he became involved in early efforts to create websites devoted to issues surrounding health. Albertson died in 2008.
As a photographer, Albertson covered a wide range of subjects, with particular focus on music and social change. The many thousands of prints, slides, and negatives in the collection include stunning shots of Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Neil Young, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and John Lee Hooker, activists such as Abbie Hoffman, politicians, and public personalities.

The American Revolution Documentary Collection
The American Revolution Documentary Collection, ca.1968-2010.
Call no.: MS 788
On March 15, 1968, a failing classical music station, WBCN-FM, was reinvented as Boston's first voice in radical underground radio, and its influence quickly spread nationally. Its characteristic blend of cultural chaos, including rock, folk, blues, and jazz, interspersed with news, radical politics, and community programming, provided a soundtrack for a generation fighting to remake its world. WBCN earned its nickname, "The American Revolution." The station's eclectic and unpredictable broadcasts included music from little-known performers who would emerge into the biggest acts of the day; regularly scheduled live musical performances from local clubs; trenchant political analysis and newscasts of the major events of the day; interviews with legendary cultural figures; and innovative new shows including one of the first women's programs and the Lavender Hour, the nation's first regularly broadcast LGBT radio show. Music, politics, culture, and community were intensely interconnected through WBCN, while its "listener line," which took calls and answered questions on any subject, helped make it a virtual two-way hub for countercultural Boston.
While producing a documentary film about WBCN, and the music, politics, and social change during the period 1968-1974, former WBCN newscaster and announcer Bill Lichtenstein recognized the importance of archiving the wealth of primary materials that told the story of WBCN, its community and the dramatic changes of the era. The American Revolution Documentary Collection is the product of Lichtenstein's energy, serving as an umbrella for a suite of interrelated collections focused on the impact of underground media in the Boston area and the profound social, political, and cultural changes of that time. These collections include the work of photographers, journalists, and writers who would go on to prominence, as well as activists, artists, and everyday people who witnessed and took part in an extended public conversation on the direction of our nation during the period of profound social, political, and cultural upheaval and who used media to help change it.
TAR collections include:
- Alternative radio broadcasting--Massachusetts
- Boston (Mass.)--History--20th century
- Cambridge (Mass.)--History--20th century
- Nineteen sixties
- Rock music
- Vietnam War, 1961-1975--Protest movements
- WBCN (Radio station : Boston, Mass.)

Susie replies:
If a woman's on top, is there a chance of pregnancy if a little sperm went in?
If sperm went into a woman and she is not on any form of birth control, then YES, she could get pregnant.
Even if she's on top, and some semen trickles out, chances are just enough sperm cells could make their way up into her reproductive tract to result in a pregnancy. Bear in mind, the female body is built to get pregnant. At the right times of her cycle, there are various physiological mechanisms to facilitate sperm travel up to an egg (as well as mechanisms to bring the egg to the sperm). Nature -- whether you want it to or not -- wants to cause pregnancy.
If you are going to engage in "dry sex," you should still wear a condom to prevent unwanted pregnancy and infections. And if it has been less than 120 hours since the sexual encounter in question, the woman can take emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy. Otherwise you would have to wait and see if she gets pregnant.

You've probably seen, or heard, the public service announcement. It opens with a pleasant holiday jingle, and what looks to be some festive Christmas lights. And then comes a the ubiquitous state police spokesperson Lt. Paul Vance delivering this stern message:
"Nothing shatters the holidays faster than a car crash. The state and local police are cracking down on speeding, unbuckled drivers and drunk driving this season."
"We will stop you," Vance warns over an image of a tombstone, "before you put an end to your holiday or someone else's."
Unless, of course, you're a cop in Windsor Locks or Bristol these days. And then, well, the tough guy bit makes way for a kinder, gentler approach.

Officials have identified one of the five people found shot to death in a New Mexico home as a Fire Department chaplain who also worked with jail inmates.
Albuquerque Fire Chief James Breen says Greg Griego's calming spirit and gentle nature will be greatly missed.
Metropolitan Detention Center Chief Ramon Rustin says Griego volunteered at the jail for 13 years and was instrumental in the creation of its chaplain program.
The Bernalillo County sheriff's department has yet to release the names of anyone found dead Saturday night in the rural home south of Albuquerque. However, they have confirmed that a 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting.
Detectives are still processing evidence at the home Sunday afternoon.

All Day
Event Description
Memphis Social, presented by apexart in New York.
organized by Tom McGlynn, Beautiful Fields collective
Friday, May 10 – Saturday, May 18
Exhibition at Memphis College of Art's Hyde Gallery, Nesin Graduate Center (477 S. Main)
Friday, May 10, 5–8 p.m.
Grand Opening at Hyde Gallery
For a complete list of events, performances and exhibitions and descriptions of each, visit the Memphis Social site.
Exhibitions on view through May 18 at multiple sites in Memphis: The Hyde Gallery at the Memphis College of Art, The Cotton Museum, Marshall Arts, Crosstown Arts, and Caritas Village Community Center
Featuring work and projects by more than 50 artists including Kara Walker, Doug Ashford, Greely Myatt, Virginia Overton, Tracey Moffatt, William Pope.L, Joe Fyfe, Leon Golub, Nancy Spero, Aviva Rahmani, Tim Rollins, Kara Rooney, Jack Robinson, Mark Tribe and Chelsea Knight, Lester Merriweather, Stewart Home, Alex Dipple, Dwayne Butcher, Haley Morris-Cafiero, David Sandlin, Bullet Space and the U-Dig Dance Company
Memphis Social is an exhibition and performance event that hopes to broaden the definitions of a socially engaged art happening. Memphis is a place that becomes universal in its specifics. The wider world knows the importance of Memphis as the birthplace of the Blues; yet locally, the blues still live there. Its being the location of Martin Luther King's assassination is important to the wider public, but locally, the struggle for racial and class equality still continues. Such specifics of time and tide that comprise a place like Memphis get freighted downriver and into common knowledge, until the city itself becomes a larger, more universal metaphor, like Woodstock or Gettysburg, Waterloo or Bethlehem.
Memphis Social is not ostensibly about Memphis, but the city as a determined social environment plays a big part in providing a rich ground for some of the social/aesthetic directions in the exhibition. Through specifically oriented performances and artwork, Memphis Social will not attempt to recreate "the city" or re-enact "the social" but will deeply consider the idea that different interpretations of society still exist, in both specific and universal ways.
For more information please contact Cybele Maylone at email@example.com.
Hyde Gallery Hours
Wednesday–Saturday: Noon – 4 p.m.
Extended hours on Trolley Nights (last Friday of each month): 6–9 p.m.

This is the modern inline muzzleloader. It looks like most modern firearms, and it is very popular today. Some are equipped with a safety, and even a telescopic sight can be attached to certain models. Some inline muzzleloaders are also equipped with an electronic ignition, where a tiny spark is produced in the breech, and ignites the gunpowder more rapidly than a percussion cap would. The inline and caplock muzzleloaders differ on where the nipple is attached. In an inline muzzleloader, the cap is in-line with the hammer and the barrel. The inline has the nipple attached to the barrel at the breech and accessed by a bolt or break action. Also, the inline model has a removable breech plug, to facilitate cleaning. The firing mechanism consists of the following parts:
Supports the action and the barrel of a firearm and is made out of either wood or synthetic material.
Strikes the percussion cap, producing a spark.
Where available, this is a pivot-style device connected to the frame of the firearm and can block either the trigger or the hammer.
A small metal tube that is tapered and screws into the breech plug. The percussion cap is pushed onto the nipple and is held on by tension.
Small lever on the firearm that, when pulled, releases the hammer and strikes the percussion cap.
The ramrod is used to push the bullet down a barrel until it is seated on top of the charge. It is also used to determine whether the firearm is loaded. On traditional muzzleloaders, the ramrod may be made of wood, whereas modern muzzleloaders will have a fiberglass or composite ramrod.

Demand Planning
Optimise Inventory Management and Streamline Supply Chain Processes
Managing demand planning with spreadsheets often results in inaccurate and untimely forecasts. You can end up with too much inventory, suffer costly stockouts, alienate customers and waste money on emergency shipments. NetSuite's demand planning capability puts you on the fast track to best-in-class inventory management and lean business operations.

A new season means a new color palette. So, we asked Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, for some expert advice. Here, she gives us a rundown of summer's must-have hues and color combos.
- Greys have been big the past few seasons. Opt for shades like Paloma – over black – for your go-to neutral this summer and fall.
- This season calls for a little excitement. Wear two equally bold hues, like Cayenne and Orange Freesia, for an unexpected pairing reminiscent of summer's bright blooms.
- Radiant Orchid – Pantone's 2014 Color of the Year – is more versatile than people think. Try it in small doses first with accessories or makeup, as it's a very skin-enhancing color.
Our Spin the Color Wheel: Hues for Every Style Boutique opens Thursday, July 3, at 3PM ET.

May 6, 2016
The snow balls have been thrown. The ice has melted. Three days ago, we struggled to get above freezing. The air was frigid, the roads were icy and a winter weather advisory was issued for all of eastern Carolina. The situation was dire for drivers everywhere in the east.
72 hours later, we are enjoying sunny skies and temperatures at or above 70°. Today, on the tropical island of Maui, highs are expected to be in the low 70s. No, that is not a typo. Our conditions have flipped from freezing to Hawaiian. And with a temperature transition as drastic as the one we are currently experiencing, it almost feels wrong not to put a cocktail umbrella in our lunch time beverages.
These conditions will continue through Wednesday, although sunshine won't be as plentiful as it is today. Another cold front will move through Thursday, forcing temperatures back down to the mid 40s.

[CS Live Services Adobe® BrowserLab - Testing Websites with BrowserLab] Adobe BrowserLab is an online hosted service that lets you test the pages of your website across a variety of web browsers and operating systems. The service works by taking screen shots of your web pages in different browsers and then displaying them in the BrowserLab application window. It works as a stand-alone service and is also integrated with Adobe Dreamweaver Let me show you how it works. In our other video, we showed you the BrowserLab interface, so now let's take a look at testing web pages. We're comparing our local magazine website in a few different browsers. One difference that I notice right away is that in the second browser this dynamic content hasn't finished loading completely. Let's look at some of the other browsers. The same thing happened in Chrome 9. Internet Explorer 9 looks okay. Firefox on Windows looks okay, but in Chrome 10 and 9 it didn't have time to load before the screen shot was taken. When this happens, simply crank up the delay value to 5 seconds and use the refresh button to request these screen shots again. Now our dynamic content has fully loaded in all of our browsers. Let's use the onion-skin view to overlay the second browser on the first to check alignments, and you can see that we have some issues. Let's go back to the two-up view and use the smart-align feature to set a single alignment point on the page. Using the smart-align tool, we can chose a place in the logo that BrowserLab can use to align all of the screen shots. Ideally, you want to chose a uniquely identifiable point on the page. Select "smart align all to this region" and let BrowserLab calculate the alignment to that point. Match percentages is the confidence rating BrowserLab has for aligning to that point. In this case, it has a very high level of confidence that it was able to accurately align. So let's return to testing and enter the onion-skin mode again. Now all the screen shots have aligned on the logo, and we can see some minor alignment issues. You'll see the browser name on the right updating as I use the "down arrow" key, and, again, our reference browser--Firefox 3.6 on the left--stays the same. So we're comparing Internet Explorer 9 and now Firefox 3.6 for Windows, which looks almost identical. Everything looks pretty good, so let's move on. BrowserLab has a new feature that allows you to follow links. Here's how it works. Roll over a link on your page. A tool tip pops up and shows the URL for that link. Hold down the "ctrl" key in Windows, or "cmd" key if you're on Mac, and click. BrowserLab will fetch screen shots of the pages for you. This saves a lot of time when testing several pages within a site, eliminating the need to type or paste in URLs. Another new feature is URL history. As I've been testing, BrowserLab has been keeping track of the URLs that I've visited and shows them to you on this list. I can use the "next" and "previous" buttons to very quickly go between the pages that I've been testing. The test pages are reloading very fast, because these screen shots are being restored from a local cache rather than having to be re-fetched from the internet. This is yet another way that BrowserLab is speeding up your workflow. Sometimes you might want to save your screen shots, and BrowserLab lets you do that very easily. Right click with your mouse, or control click if you're on a Mac, and chose "save locally" from the menu, choose a file name, location, click "save" and you're done. Packed with lots of new time-saving features, Adobe BrowserLab is a fast and easy solution for cross-browser testing. To get started, visit browserlab.adobe.com. [Adobe - browserlab.adobe.com]

Postgraduate courses
Whether you're looking to change career direction, improve your job prospects or simply pursue a passion, London Met is an excellent choice for postgraduate study.
We support you from the moment you enquire to the moment you get your first job or your promotion. Many courses give you professional accreditation as well as academic qualifications.
We offer a wide range of MA, MSc, MPhil and PhD programmes.
Postgraduate degrees are for students who have already completed an undergraduate degree to a good standard or have enough experience in the relevant field. A master's is usually taught like an undergraduate degree and takes one or two years. It is more challenging than a bachelor's and demands considerable independent thought from students. A doctorate (PhD) is the most demanding academic qualification, and usually involves creating a book-length publishable piece of original research in its field.
For information about research degrees please contact the research office.
You might also be interested in our range of professional courses.

Comments about Tachikara USA Tachikara OSV14 BIG Soft V Oversize Fabric Volleyball:
The stores don't carry this ball, so it must be ordered online. I thought the employee was very helpful in locating the ball I was looking for, and was able to take my online order at the store. The shipping took forever (10 days). When we received the ball, it comes in a BIG box, and the ball comes DEFLATED. I wasn't told that I would need to buy an airpump also to inflate the ball. So another trip to a store to buy one. The next day we use the ball for the first time, and within 5 minutes, the seams split open. My daughter was in tears, and the ball is completely unusable. I tried to return it to the store where the online purchase took place. The store will not accept online returns.I must PAY to ship the defective product back to the company. Do you see how the money is racking up here? I will now package the product back up, take it to a shipping facility, pay to have it shipped, and then wait probably a month to recieve a credit on my account. By the way, in the mean time, I went online and purchased a soft beginners ball from Molten, at a fraction of the price, and it arrived in 2 days. It has held up as expected.

No Video Streaming Service Will Ever Fit All
It's getting pretty crowded in the streaming space. Comcast is the latest company to throw its hat into the digital ring: It will offer existing cable subscribers access to streaming TV shows and movies through a new service called Streampix.

My hometown is Homewood, Alabama. That's where I landed my first TV job in middle school, anchoring a weekly newscast called "Kidsworld 13."
I earned a bachelor of science in journalism (BSJ) from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
Four years of cold weather sent me back south to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. Before moving to Knoxville in 2006, I reported and anchored news at local television stations in Birmingham, Little Rock, and Atlanta. I've also worked at CNN, CNN Headline News, and CNN Radio.
Off the job, I enjoy dancing at Jazzercise, reading library books, and watching college football.
My husband and I live in West Knoxville.
I've spent most of my career working general assignment news but now I'm a reporter and fill-in anchor for Live at 5 at 4.

March 12, 2012
Jefferson D. Powell
With spring football right around the corner, the Houston Cougars are continuing to focus on the 2013 recruiting class and continue to go after some of the nation's top talent, including their latest offer to Missouri City (TX) Fort Bend Marshall outside linebacker Deon Hollins Jr.Hollins has been getting attention from several top programs all over the country and has been quite busy trying to keep up."It gets crazier and crazier by the day," the talented linebacker told CougarsDen on Sunday. "I'm trying to think about every school that's interested so that I can really sit and think about it and make a conscientious decision."Hollins has had several offers for junior day visits, already visiting a couple of Texas schools and has even more planned in his near future."I've been to Texas A&M and University of Texas' junior days," the 6-foot-2, 225-pound defender said. "I'm also scheduled to go to Washington and Oregon during the week of April 28th. In terms of Houston's junior day, I haven't scheduled anything yet, but given how close to home it is that wouldn't be a problem at all."Hollins will also attend a couple of the big named camps coming up in the near future as well."I'm going to attend a Nike camp that's coming up in Dallas and also the National Under Classmen combine," he added.Houston not only offered Hollins, but also offered teammate Maurice Porter. Porter is a 6-foot-5, 285-pound offensive tackle for Fort Bend Marshall and Hollins says he would love to stay with his teammate at the next level."Head coach (Tony) Levine actually reached out to me first on Facebook," the talented defender said. "He told me they were going after all of the top talent in Texas. We just got the offers today, so I actually haven't had a chance to talk to Maurice yet, but we're real good friends and I'm definitely going to call him and talk to him about it and congratulate him. I think there would definitely be some interest in us both going to the same school. It's always good to have some familiar faces around."Hollins has 22 offers total from all over the country. He has offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, Boise State, Colorado, Duke, Houston, Kansas State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Tulsa, Utah, Vanderbilt, Washington and West Virginia and his offer list should grow even more as the process moves forward, but a decision could be coming from Hollins before the end of summer."I plan on making my decision before the summer is over," Hollins added. "My high school coach told me that if a school hasn't reached out to me by the end of spring time then I'm not very high on their list and I want to go to a school that's very interested in me, I don't want to be a second hand kind of deal."Hollins has had some impressive high school years and feels he's fairly well rounded in the high school game and now he is doing everything he can to prepare himself for the next level."My position coach and I have been looking at a lot of things the colleges want to see to prepare myself for College. I feel I have a pretty good grasp on the high school game so I'm just working on a lot of stuff to prepare myself for the college game."Last season the talented linebacker tallied 70 tackles, 22 tackles-for-loss and 16 sacks for Fort Bend Marshall and while he's getting a lot of national attention, Hollins says he has no favorites as of now but is intrigued by the opportunity to stay close to home, something that could play in favor for Houston."For me personally, I have no preference whether to play in or out of state," the speedy defender told CougarsDen.
