Martha, 

I perhaps incorrectly left out feminism because it seemed to me it flowered 
after '68, more than before. But that might have been more especially in the 
organized "movement."( The first noted feminist march was in '70. The Stonewall 
riots were in '69. So both followed '68, with the happenings on many college 
campuses ,notably Columbia,  as well as in France, Prague and Chicago.) Of 
course, "The 2nd Sex" came out well before. I did mention some books, but you 
are right about  the others. Brecht was quite visible in the very early '60's. 
But how books are read, or even what drugs end up doing, depends on other 
factors, I believe. In the context of the times, Tolkien and the movie 2001 
might have been as influential or more than anything you name, but 
Tolkien probably had a conservative intent. Reductiveness is in the eye of the 
beholder, it seems.  

Best,
Michael
