Our cover pays tribute to the graphic designof the period––a time when art and design rejected modernist rulesand began to experiment, mixing genres to reflect the turbulentissues and events that had Americans questioning everything,from political beliefs to social norms. It was a time of upheaval,a time of initiative, and the perfect time for OHC to join theconversation.Follow us:@OKHumanities/OklahomaHumanitiesCouncilExecutive DirectorEditor, Oklahoma HumanitiesDirector of CommunicationsAssistant DirectorMarketing & Development DirectorAdministrative CoordinatorFiscal OfficerProgram OfficerT H E M A G A Z I N E O F T H E O K L A H O M A H U M A N I T I E S C O U N C I LMICROPROCESSORMARS PROBE NASDAQBAN ON CIGARETTE ADSNUCLEAR TESTING PING PONG DIPLOMACYOklahoma FRAZIER DEFEATS ALIHumanitiesCouncil VOTING AGE 18John & YokoARCHIE BUNKERALCATRAZAPOLLO 14Enters theConversationWinter 2011POCKET CALCULATOR BOB DYLANCHARLES MANSONMARCH FOR EQUALITYRICHARD NIXONVIETNAM“THE FRENCH CONNECTION” 1971PENTAGON PAPERSCHAT ROOMSMASTERPIECE THEATRECAT SCANLCDDISNEY WORLD OPENSAMTRAKJACKSON5BUSINGCHINA & THE U.N.I’M OK, YOU’RE OK FLOPPY DISKSEX DISCRIMINATION BREZHNEVGREENPEACE PARTRIDGE FAMILYATTICA RIOT “LOVE STORY”O H C C e l e b r a t e s 4 0 Y e a r s Special edition2 WINTER 2011
