Summary:
Description: One of the more successful and well-known undergrounds, reporting news and all aspects of the counterculture from a radical perspective. "One of the first underground papers, founded in August 1965 by Max Scherr. At the November '65 march on the Oakland induction center, he hawked his paper with the cry 'Read the Barb, it's pleasure not a duty!' Scherr's brand of iconoclasm embraced the New Left, sexual freedom, black militancy, LSD, and just about anything else that might challenge the status quo. In 1969, due to a split between Scherr and the paper's staff, most of the strikers quit to start a new paper, the Tribe. Soon after, the Barb changed hands." (Red House Books Catalog 6, "The Sixties," ca. September, 1990.).
