  Ramparts was often at the edge of political journalism. "Inquisition Greek Style," by James Becket exposes the Greek junta for using systematic torture as an anti-communism bulwark, lovingly backed by the US. If that's not your speed, David Horowitz follows the arc of Bertrand Russell's later years--Russell was extremely vocal in the anti-war, anti-nuclear movements, right up to his death two months before this issue was released.

  In this issue of Ramparts, a featured article by Michèle Ray, "In Cold Blood." Ray was a French journalist well known for her capture by the Vietcong in 1967. She was held captive for 21 days, released--and in the same year--traveled to Bolivia to report on the death (murder) of Che Guevara. Personally, I would have taken a holiday.

  This issue centers on revolutionary movements and Black liberation. The cover story, "America's Black Guerrillas" by Sol Stern, examines militant Black organizing, with additional pieces on Régis Debray's revolutionary theory and Eduardo Galeano reporting from Guatemala's guerrilla movements. Noam Chomsky contributes "The Fire This Time," a major essay addressing Vietnam and imperialism. Also features science fiction by Paul Goodman, poetry by Iannis Ritsos, and media criticism examining press coverage of Jim Garrison's JFK assassination investigation. (Apologies for Chomsky ruining the vibe)
