Walter H. King:
The old Freep of the 1960s and 70s had both a social-cultural and a political program.
I think the political program mostly “lost out” but the social-cultural program was a huge success and is to a large extent part of the progressive legacy of the sixties and early seventies.
For those old enough to remember what our culture was like in the fifties and what it is today, we owe a large debt to publisher Art Kunkin and his Free Press.

In My Opinion, Art Kunkin Is No Less Than A Folk Hero

I agree, Art kunkin is a true Folk Hero.
I wish he was still running the current version of the Freep.

My first published article, "Minor, You Have No Mind!" was the banner story in May or June of 1965. I was a staff writer for the old Free Press from 1969 - 1971. Sounds like Art Kunkin is still around. Who has the old archives? I would love to see them from that wonderful era.
