Paul Krassner, anarchist and leader of the Yippies, dies at 87

Fearless and thorough from the very start –

July 21, 2019 – An FBI agent once described him in a letter to Life magazine as “a raving, unconfined nut,” a phrase that Mr. Krassner gleefully adapted for the title of his memoir. “The FBI was right,” comedian George Carlin later said. “This man is dangerous — and funny, and necessary.” … A former contributor to Mad magazine, Mr. Krassner founded the Realist in 1958 and ran the publication almost single-handedly for 16 years, growing a subscription list of 600 names into a reported readership of about 100,000 that helped lay the groundwork for magazines including National Lampoon and Spy … As a writer, Mr. Krassner was probably best known for crafting a “missing” chapter from “The Death of a President,” historian William Manchester’s 1967 account of the John F. Kennedy assassination. First lady Jacqueline Kennedy had tried to block the book’s publication, and it was released only after several pages were cut.
