More than half of Woodstock directly records the musical performances, and considering the ones Wadleigh has chosen the emphasis is fatal (one film we didn't need was a grainier Monterey Pop ).

Titled Sound Diagnosis, Dr. Weinberg's record is a heart-rending collection of the sounds of sickness.

Violently colored and decorated with cartoon characters (Mickey Mouse), symbols of dissent (a marijuana plant) or simple slogans (Fly the Friendly Skies of Cambodia), the shirts are a bright new trend for the kids-and the Over-30s too. Much more than other clothing, they are designed to convey the wearer's feelings. Hearts on sleeves...
