The High Times Reader by Annie Nocenti

Since its launch in 1974 by cultural outlaw and international drug smuggler Thomas King Forade, High Times magazine has served as a preeminent showcase of the American counterculture. Conceived to "bring a new consciousness into the media," the magazine's first issue sold 25,000 copies. Although the past 30 years have spanned three editorial reigns, High Times has remained committed to its sharp defense of free speech, constitutional rights and the freedom of the individual. The High Times Reader will chronicle the evolution of American counterculture over the past three decades, offering a unique historical perspective on the current tendencies toward suppressing American civil liberties. Contributions will include Timothy Leary's space-travel manifesto Terra II from the magazine's inaugural issue, articles by Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Ron Rosenbaum, Legs McNeil and Paul Krassnerwho wrote a column entitled "Brain Damage Report"interviews with Johnny Rotten, Larry David, and an 8-page photo insert of the most infamous sexy High Times centerfolds, along with some of their more memorable covers.
