AI notes: The No Nukes Teach-In held on May 5, 1979, at Riverside Church in New York City was a major early response to the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, bringing together scientists, activists, and public figures to raise awareness about the dangers of nuclear energy. Featuring speakers like Ralph Nader, Barry Commoner, and Amory Lovins, the event emphasized the environmental and safety risks of nuclear power and promoted renewable alternatives. It played a key role in mobilizing public sentiment and momentum for the anti-nuclear movement, helping to set the stage for the landmark No Nukes concerts and rally later that year.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete in 136 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
