This Week In '66 - Hicks vs. Hippies

 

With Lynn Peril

Andy Warhol’s Uptight and more missing nuclear materials were in the news This Week in 66, along with a custody battle that the media posited as a fight between “the hicks and the hippies.” Rather than turn over their seven-year-old grandson, Mark Painter, to his father, after the tragic deaths of Mark’s mother and sister in a car accident, Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Bannister appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court. The court’s decision was a lulu, and suggested that Mark’s mildly nonconformist California-based dad was “too Bohemian” to properly raise his son.
