13. The Summer of Love: 1967
June 25, 2007
The "Summer of Love" is remembered today through a haze of nostalgia, hindsight and hype. But how was the emergence of the youth counterculture actually covered at the time? These selections from the NBC News archives offer a rare and fascinating look back to 1967, and the beginnings of a cultural shock wave that is still being felt and debated today. Reporter Aline Saarinen covers the scene in Haight-Ashbury, and offers a reality check. Hugh Downs talks to LSD advocate Dr. Timothy Leary. Jack Perkins reports on the prevalence of drugs in the hippie culture. These are early examples of mainstream media reporting on youth culture, something that has since become commonplace.
