This issue of the seminal sixties underground periodical Floating Bear was guest-edited by Billy Linich (Billy Name) of Andy Warhol's Factory; many contributions from and references to the 1962 artistic avant-garde. Brief pieces by Ray Johnson and George Brecht; quotes attributed to Andy Warhol, Leo Castelli, Larry Rivers, and others appear in a parodic collection of art-world sayings.
