A Bomb in Every Issue recounts the rise and fall of Ramparts
magazine, which, for nearly a decade in the 1960s, was the nation's
premier leftist publication, combining radical content, sophisticated
design, and public relations savvy to shape political journalism for a
generation. Featuring interviews with David Horowitz, Peter Collier,
Adam Hochschild, Christopher Hitchens, Todd Gitlin, Robert Scheer,
Warren Hinckle, Angela Davis, Kathleen Cleaver, Seymour Hersh, William
F. Buckley, Noam Chomsky, Brit Hume, Bobby Seale, Howard Zinn, and
others, A Bomb in Every Issue situates the magazine amidst student
movements in Berkeley, the rise and fall of the Black Panthers in
Oakland, and the acid-inflected Summer of Love in San Francisco while
assessing the magazine's impact on national media and politics.
