IN THE SIXTIES by Ray Connolly
This anthology looks at the Sixties and the momentous events that shaped the decade. It contains contributions from journalists who were active during this era. There are great political moments: Patrick O'Donovan on Churchill's funeral, Arthur Hopcraft on Kennedy in Ireland and James Cameron on his funeral, Claire Hollingworth on Algeria, "Private Eye" on the Profumo affair and Maurice Richardson on the Moors murder trials. Nick Tomalin and David Leitch turn their attention to Vietnam, while P. G. Cerney focuses on the crushing of the 1968 uprising in Prague and Mary Kenny on the Paris riots of the same year. Alistair Cooke describes Martin Luther King's funeral. Culture is also featured: a "Daily Telegraph" article on "Swinging London" and a "Guardian" article on Mary Quant set the scene. Here too are Maureen Cleave on John Lennon, John Gale on Harold Pinter, "The Times" music critic on the Beatles' songs, and Auberon Waugh on "Private Eye" small ads. Hunter Davis, John Mortimer, Alan Coren, Max Hastings, Irma Kurtz, Penelope Gilliatt and others also provide contributions.Born in 1941, Connolly was brought up in Lancashire and attended the London School of Economics, where he read social anthropology, and where Mick Jagger was a fellow student. He then interviewed sixties pop stars for the London Evening Standard. He has written numerous newspaper articles for the Daily Mail, The Sunday Times, The Times, The Daily Telegraph and The Observer.
Connolly has written several novels, including Sunday Morning and Shadows on a Wall, the movies That'll Be the Day and Stardust, the television series Lytton's Diary and Perfect Scoundrels and a biography of John Lennon. He also worked with record producer Sir George Martin on the television series The Rhythm of Life, and has written TV plays, films and documentaries, radio plays, short stories and much journalism.
