Massive FBI trove on Yippies released under FOIA

Government Attic received, following a Freedom of Information Act request, 6,600 pages of FBI reports into the Youth International Party, or Yippies, famed for combining radical politics with humor. It's an epic mountain of material; I love the group's hand-drawn flyers and FBI bulletins such as this one.
