Very brief, indeed. It left me wanting more.
In particular, I would have mentioned the explosion of independent printing shops in the 60's. There’s a great list of counter-culture and political print shops here: http://www.docspopuli.org/articles/BayAreaRadicalShops.html http://www.docspopuli.org/articles/BayAreaRadicalShops.html
