Mother Jones shares a fascinating footnote about Woodstock in which "the festival sparked a mini-culture war between the [New York Times] reporters out at Woodstock and the editors back in Manhattan."
It was difficult to persuade them that the relative lack of serious mischief and the fascinating cooperation, caring, and politeness among so many people was the significant point. I had to resort to refusing to write the story unless it reflected to a great extent my on-the-scene conviction that "peace" and "love" was the actual emphasis, not the preconceived opinions of Manhattan-bound editors.
