Three days later, January 16, a Monterey County Grand Jury exonerated the guard, calling his action justifiable homicide. A half hour after the finding of the grand jury was announced on the prison radio a white guard, not the same guard who had killed the men, was found beaten to death. Six days later three black convicts were charged with his murder. They are Fleeta Drumgo, John Cluchette and George Jackson, called "The Soledad Brothers." Attorneys for The Soledad Brothers say these inmates were charged not because of any evidence connecting them with the beating, but because they had previously...
...Company. Since the Jefferson Airplane had Signe Anderson (later replaced by Grace Slick), the boys sent for Janis to be their lead singer. She began to learn about rock 'n' roll, and to please her, they began to learn about the blues. By the time of the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967, after months of hard practicing in Haight-Ashbury, they were ready. The documentary film Monterey Pop is the celluloid affidavit of their triumph...
...Monterey Pop. Davis stumbled on this new source of Columbia's prosperity almost by accident. In May 1967, he attended the Monterey Pop Festival in California because one of Columbia's groups was playing there.

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 ). The rest is taken up with sundry interviews in which predictable subjects-freaks, police, old folks, etc.- make predictable commentary (predictable, that is, if you know the Woodstock myth-i.e., the police man will say these are a great bunch of kids, etc.), and a variety of material which aims at revealing the life style of the populace. With the exception of the initial interview, in which...
Died. Dr. Eric Berne, 60, psychiatrist and author of Games People Play; of a heart attack; in Monterey, Calif. As a group therapist, he observed that people acted and reacted in repetitious, tightly defined ritual "games." After further casework and analysis buttressed his findings, he invented breezy names (Frigid Woman; Now I've Got You, You Son of a Bitch; I'm Only Trying to Help You) and published Games in 1964. Intended for therapists, the book scored a sales blitz (650,000 hardcover, 2,000,000 paperback). It also attracted criticism from Berne's colleagues...
