It's 1966 and the times they are a-changin'
How LSD ended my alcoholism, and what turns women to lesbianism? Chatelaine in 1966
Doris Anderson is the editor now (her tenure will last 20 years, 1957-1977, and shape Chatelaine into a Second Wave feminist magazine with mass appeal, high circulation and heaps of advertising). Among the new features, Christina McCall has this terrific book column each month, usually containing short, sharp reviews of several books. Her by-line still surnames her as McCall Newman, though she and Peter C. Newman had divorced in 1959. Just look at this elegant outburst against Bobby Kennedy who was found wanting and then wanting some more. The book didn’t change her fundamental opinion about the Junior:
“I have never much liked Bobby, he seems too scrappy, too glittery of eye and too small of spirit… it’s still a little disturbing to realize that a man who believes ‘almost nothing prepares a man better for life’s tests than the game of football’ could become the leader of the Western world.” Hello. I’m calling from 2025.
