The 21 interviews collected in this volume represent the best from Paul Krassner's trailblazing satirical magazine The Realist. These interviews profile towering figures in our postwar culture and counterculture, all of whom offer their unique take on the major issues of the time - moving through the headlines of another era (Communism, segregation, the sexual revolution) to the headlines of today (biotechnology, the ever-evolving counterculture, and the New World Order).
