Reviews

[Bill Wallace · Rating 4 out of 5]

The cover, a striking portrait of Bobby Kennedy by Paul Davis, is matched by a powerful memoir of Kennedy written by Jack Newfield, who worked on the Senator's presidential campaign and was present at the candidate's assassination. It's a reminder of how fragile the path of history can be, since Kennedy would have likely been a strong contender against Nixon. It's also a good reminder of Evergreen's stature in its moment of time. The issue also features a long interview with William Burroughs, recently enamored of L. Ron's E-meters, and some strong, disturbing fiction from Robert Hunter and John Schulz.
