Summary
In a collection of nearly 70 essays by contributors including singer Joan Baez, APOCALYPSE NOW writer John Milius, and Paris Review editor George Plimpton, and illustrated with over 100 color and black-and-white photographs, Rolling Stone magazine surveys the decade that brought the world the end of the Vietnam War, the resignation of Richard Nixon, and the death of Elvis Presley. ROLLING STONE: THE 70S covers many familiar subjects, from producer Lorne Michaels on the beginnings of the popular comedy show SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, to writer Nik Cohn on the gestation of the New York magazine article that became the classic movie SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. But though these stories of pop culture are compelling, the recounting of events significant at the time and now disappearing into obscurity with each passing decade is even more impressive: episodes like the still-mysterious death of nuclear power worker Karen Silkwood, the kidnapping of Patty Hearst, and the right-to-die controversy over Karen Ann Quinlan. Insightful essays on the effects of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade reproductive rights decision, peace in the Middle East, and the execution of Gary Gilmore (brother of Rolling Stone writer Mikal Gilmore) still resonate in the 21st century.

After Diana
by
In "After Diana", leading cultural critics dissect the enormous welter of words and images to determine what can be made of the extraordinary response to the princess's death. Did Tony Blair's public emoting herald a new kind of politics? What did the deep anguish of so many who never knew Diana in person reveal about the English character? How did the intertwining of the ideas of celebrity and victim, physical beauty and moral worth affect people's responses and what is the significance of this event for the future oft he royal family?...For those perplexed by the events surrounding Diana's death, this book seeks to provide some answers. Underpinned by the idea that all aspects of the affair are open to investigation, that nothing especially royalty--is sacred, it brings together a group of distinguished writers whose primary interest is to analyse the death rather than lament it....Contributors include: Sarah Benton, Robin Blackburn, Beverly Brown, Richard Coles, Ford Higson, Christopher Hitchens, Sara Maitland, Mandy Merck, Adam Philips, Naomi Segal, Elizabeth Wilson.
Fool's Paradise
by Stewart Justman
The award-winning essayist presents an intriguing look at popular psychology, arguing that it impedes humans to create the selves they want as opposed to liberating them.

Yes We Have No
by Nik Cohn
Forget about cricket, tea with the vicar and the changing of the guard (and the much-hyped up Britannia as well), and encounter a hidden nation--the many millions who've fallen out of the mainstream, or chosen to jump. Nick Cohn's kaleidoscopic England is made up of techno-freaks and soccer obsessives, faith healers and fetishists, graffiti artists, Odinists, Rastas, Elvis impersonators, even the Antichrist.
