The Sixth Side of the Pentagon on October 21, 1967 over 100, 000 protestors gathered in Washington, D.C. for the mobilization to end the war in Vietnam. It was the largest protest gathering yet and it brought together a cross-section of liberals, radicals, hippies and Yippies.

This was originally published in the NEW AMERICAN REVIEW in 1968 as a long story entitled, "The Cat in the Hat for President." That was the year that Richard Nixon was first elected president and, according to a grand jury, the police rioted at the Democratic National Convention, where hippies and Yippies were protesting the Vietnam War--then at its height. Coover presents the Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat as the ideal presidential candidate because he can transform himself in an instant, appearing to be one thing before one audience, another before a different audience. The story is a brilliant satire of American politics that culminates in a hallucigenic view of American history that includes much of the sex and violence generally omitted from traditional histories. In the long run, the story celebrates the energy of creation and imagination, which is also the energy of destruction and devastation, that lies at the heart of American culture.

Hippies, yippies, freebie gypsies, freakniks, wagumps-- are but of the few of the startling people whom Dave Wilkerson has met and here describes in dramatic, terse, hard-hitting style.

Wilkerson has encountered and confronted thousands of runaway young people throughout the Us, intent upon escaping the confines of an unhappy home life, searching for love, identification, and a sense of belonging.
