Andre Bertram.
This issue is most notable for its cover: as the editor explains, 'Our front page is a found object. We found it flyposted to the building that houses our offices...' In fact, the cover is actually a translation of an original Situationist poster produced in October 1967 to announce the publication of "Internationale Situationniste" #11. This cover is probably the single most iconic English-language Situationist artifact. Words by Raoul Vaneigem, graphics by Andre Bertram. Other contents include: Allen Ginsberg, "The Maharishi and Me"; "Three Views on the Anti-University" by Harold Norse, Alexander Trocchi and Robert Tasher; "Family Dog" and "Middle Earth" advertisements; J.G. Ballard's poem "Why I Want to F..k Ronald Reagan"; international reports from Sweden, Manila, New York and Germany; centrespread "IT Supports Dick Gregory for President of the United States"; a page of letters about censorship from Tom Maschler, John Calder, Marion Boyars and Charles Marowitz; John Peel's column, "The Perfumed Garden"; and a short interview with Captain Beefheart.
