Reading ReviewSCOTCH PLAINS PUBLIC LIBRARY

By MICHAEL BRONSKiJr. Library Assistant

Although the Sixties are only alittle more than half over, peopleare already taking stock. And nowonder, for in only seven yearsso much has happened, We havehad three presidents and maystill have a fourth. The otherworld powers, including Russia,have had a change in leadership,Christianity has begun to makepreviously unheard-of changes.Music, fashion, and art have allbeen influenced by and have in-fluenced these past seven years.So much has happened that onecannot even attempt to categorizethem all. Pierre Berton has donethe next best thing, however. Hehas published a volume of twenty-two interviews with people of theSixties. Mr. Berton isaCanadiantelevision personality who has ashow similar to David Susskind's,He has titled his book "VoicesFrom the Sixties- Twenty-TwoViews of a Revolutionary De-cade," The key word in the titleis, of course, "revolutionary"and may be the only blanket termthat can be applied to the years.

There are several reasons forthe excellence of Mr. Berton'sbook. The firse is his choice ofinterviewee s. There is always aquestion in a book such as thiswhether to speak to a leader andvocalizer or just a member ofsome aspect of society, Mr, Ber-ton has solved this problem verywell, He Includes such notedpeople as Malcolm X and Mal-colm Boyd as well as an unwedmother, a civil rights worker,and a witch. It is important tonote, however, that all of thepersons interviewed are morethan just a single individual,they represent or reflect someaspect of contemporary society.

Take, for instance, the chap-tera on Michael Caine, an actor,and jean Shrimpton, a model,Neither of these persons have anyqualifications outside their r e -spective professions, yet theyeach reflect, and to some degreepersonify the cultural changesthat have been taking place in

England, Since the Sixties areto a large extent concerned withthe young, almost one-third of thepieces deal with youth. Two ofthe interviews are with peoplewho talk about teenagers. Murraythe K and Phil Spector are con-cerned with both the record in-dustry and its youthful audience.And although they speak know-ledgeabiy in their fields, theinterviews wi th young peoplethemselves are more revealing,jane Freeman, for example, isa nineteen-ye ar-uid unwed mo-ther. Jn just a few pages shetells more of the young person'smind, emotions, and relationshipto society than any of Murraythe K's monologue's on song ly-r ics . The other three piecesInvolving teenagers are just asrevealing.

Even if the portraits Mr, Ber-ton presents did not reflect anage, they would still be highlyentertaining in themselves, Mrs.Lois Pearson, an English witch,assures us that her activitiesare "nothing like the Woman'sInstitute." Dixie Dean Traineris another remarkable woman.She has been dubbed "Queen ofthe Fan Magazines" and tellsamong other things of her one-woman campaign to discreditDoris Day, Mrs. Ian Flemingshows a new side of her latehusband, and Mrs. MargueriteOswald tells again of her son'schildhood and family life.

If Mr, Berton gave us only thereviews, we should be thankfulenough, but he has also prefacedthe volume with an essay. Thoughit Is only four pages long, itprovides an excellent introduc-tion to both the age and the vol-ume.
