The magazine's commitment to the progressive side of the political spectrum has been consistent, with early stance for civil rights and against the Vietnam War. The image of Che Guevara that first appeared on the cover of its February 1968 issue, designed by Paul Davis and based on a photograph by Alberto Korda, became a popular symbol of resistance.

This issue also includes work by William Carlos Williams, Frank O'Hara, Patsy Southgate, Gregory Corso, James Grady, Samuel Beckett and Georges Arnaud.
