"DR. HIP": Syndicated widely to "underground weeklies," Dr. Eugene Schoenfeld dispensed blunt and humorous advice about sex (and drugs). The sex advice legacy is carried on by Dan Savage's "Savage Love" column in today's alternative weeklies. Savage started the "It Gets Better" project.
RAMPARTS: One of the most explosive indy magazines of the 1960s, Ramparts published photos of the impact of U.S. napalm (a chemical weapon that eats away human flesh) on Vietnamese civilians in its January 1967 issue. Martin Luther King, Jr. credited those photos with being the main spark that got him to break his silence and speak out loudly against the Vietnam War a few months later. Besides its investigative scoops and vivid writing, Ramparts was known for its cover art, shown here and HERE.
