...articles written by a young staff writer for The Village Voice between the summers of 1967 and 1968. The articles center around the people and events that were characteristic of the new culture emerging in New York's East Village and the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Don McNeill was a participant-observer of this culture, and he recorded its moments as they were happening, and as they accepted him, without any postmortem analysis or morning-after perspectives, McNeill presents the growing pains of the counter-culture intact and unviolated-the reader is free to judge them for himself...
...responded with a modern Ben Franklin variety store and a new furniture shop. The plant manager applauds the recreational value of country living for his employees, the economics of low rents and wages for his company.

Dr. Hill said that he was not treatable, was potentially dangerous, and "should not be permitted to have freedom again in his adult life." Dr. McNeill warned that under treatment. Sledge would appear to improve, but "even with therapy over a period of time the true cause would not be eradicated." The jury was impressed. Sledge was found insane and committed to Rusk State Hospital for what seemed certain to be the rest of his life...
...Sledge was free. His attorneys had asked for a new sanity hearing, and in August Dr. Hill ignored his previous opinion and testified that Sledge "is, today, not a potentially dangerous criminal." The hearing ended with a hung jury, and another was held this month. At that one. Dr. McNeill also changed his mind. Forgetting his warning, he stated that Sledge was now of sound mind and sane. No contradictory testimony was offered by any state witnesses, and the jury had little choice but to free the killer. Sane enough at least not to push his luck, Sledge immediately left...
