Eat the Document
(From the NY Times list)
That sounds interesting. Back in the 60's, a whole bunch of the 475-odd people making up the shadow government were from Cincinnati - like a fifth.

Noticing the rise of emerging churches in Cincy, I often wonder how much the 60's countereculture had an influence.

Sounds like an interesting read.
