Until mankind realizes the futility of war, civilian casualties, however regrettable, will remain an acceptable fact of life. BARRY W. LUNDGREN Woodstock...

The Monkees' golden age ended, appropriately, with the concept carried to its logical extreme, a Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson film called "Head" that was essentially about the destruction of the group. The Monkeees were not a Woodstock kind of band, and most definitely not a post-Altamont proposition.
