...stereotype of a cop. "I don't buy the Black Panthers," he says, "but at the same time, I feel that if the police spent more time denouncing racism, they would be a lot more effective." It was Kimble who supervised the extraordinarily lenient security forces at Woodstock last year. He even writes verse: "In the silence of the dawn / When attention of the world is gone, / I drop my shield so tears can speak. / Pardon me for being weak...
...start. Among them was Herb Alpert, who issued Joe's first two LPs on his own A. & M. label. Now Cocker is a hotter draw than Alpert's own Tijuana Brass, the legendary combo that made millions blending Dixieland and mariachi. As the new Warner film Woodstock (see CINEMA) makes emphatically clear, Joe was one of the hits of last summer's historic Woodstock festival.

More persuasively, a Viet Nam veteran recounts several killings that grimly resemble My Lai. Brutality of another kind is the subject of a strong article on the "Woodstock West" folk concert held last December at Altamont race track in California. Why, Scanlan's wonders, was there not more attention paid to the fact that four people died, 700 were treated for bad acid trips, and that the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang, hired by the Rolling...
