One of the most explosive indy magazines of the 1960s, 
Ramparts,
 published 
photos of the impact of U.S. napalm (a chemical weapon that 
eats away human flesh) on Vietnamese civilians in Jan. 1967.   Martin 
Luther King, Jr. credited those photos with being the spark that got him
 to break his silence and speak out loudly against the Vietnam War a few
 months later. MLK became the most prominent critic of the war. Besides investigative journalism and scoops, 
Ramparts was known for its cover art shown 
here and 
here.
