Featured Video: The Hippie Temptation (1967)

“The aggressive determination of hippies to start a new society has made its mark upon San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury…” A clip (of poor visual quality) from a 1967 CBS News documentary about the onslaught of LSD and bell-bottoms in the Bay Area. Harry Reasoner does the honors and the Grateful Dead makes the scene. Joan Didion still has the best take on the so-called Summer of Love.
