And the UK urban revolutionaries, our reply to Weatherman and self
styled the 'Angry Brigade' was also known (when on trial in 1971-2) as
The Stoke Newington Eight, from the inner London suburb where they lived
and made their bombs. I think the defendants in the Oz Trial (1971, UK's
the  longest censorship trial, vs. the underground press) were The Oz
Three, but although Oz referred to Australia as well as to Baum's
creation, I suppose the name here referred only to the magazine's title.
