  oz magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In succeeding issues (and its its later London version) Oz gave pioneering coverage to contentious issues such as censorship, homosexuality, abortion, police brutality, the government's racist White Australia Policy and the Vietnam War, and regularly satirised public figures up to and including Prime Minister Robert Menzies.
Oz was one of several 'underground' publications targeted by the Obscene Publications Squad, and their offices were raided on several occasions, but Schoolkids Oz gave police the opportunity to try and shut the magazine down for good through the courts.
The prosecution of the Oz editors, which began in June 1971, brought the magazine to the attention of a far wider public than would have been the case had it simply been ignored.

 Schoolkids OZ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schoolkids OZ was Issue 28 of the OZ magazine, famous for being the subject of a high-profile obscenity case in the United Kingdom in June 1971.
The trial of editors Richard Neville, Felix Dennis, and Jim Anderson was conducted at the Old Bailey, under the auspices of Judge Michael Argyle.
In her ‘Oz Trial Post-Mortem’, which was not published until it was included in "The Madwoman’s Underclothes" (1986), the erstwhile contributor Germaine Greer made the following salient points:

Oz was a satirical humour magazine first published between 1963–69 in Sydney, Australia and, in its second and more famous incarnation, from 1967 to 1973 in London, England.
Strongly identified as part of the underground press, it was the subject of two celebrated obscenity trials, one in Australia in 1964 and the other in the UK in 1971.
Oz was one of several 'underground' publications targeted by the Obscene Publications Squad, and their offices had already been raided on several occasions, but the conjunction of schoolchildren and arguably obscene material set the scene for the infamous Oz obscenity trial of 1971.

 Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | I was an Oz schoolkid
The Oz obscenity trial was as much a clash of two Britains as the Lady Chatterley case had been a decade earlier: two landmark events in a cultural war which, as the moral panics over Brass Eye, American Psycho and Crash would suggest, is still going on.
Schoolkids' Oz didn't sell particularly well, and the Oz team had practically forgotten about it when, two months later, the obscene publications squad crashed into the Oz office in Holland Park, locked the doors, disconnected the phones and began carting away everything remotely connected to Oz 28.
From Chatterley to Oz, from Crash to Brass Eye, we have seen those who are threatened by ideas demand censorship in order to win cultural wars when they know, in their heart of hearts, that they have already lost the argument.

In 1970, reacting to criticism that Oz had lost touch with youth, the editors invited a group of secondary school students (including Charles Shaar Murray and Deyan Sudjic) to create a special 'youth' edition: Oz #28 (May 1970), known as "Schoolkids OZ".
The majority of the contributors were from public schools (in the UK sense of the term: elite private schools); as a result the humour was mostly an extension of the type of material familiar from undergraduate Rag Mags.
At the conclusion of the trial the "Oz Three" were found guilty and sentenced to hard labour — although Dennis was given a lesser sentence because the judge, Justice Michael Argyle, considered that Dennis was "very much less intelligent" than Neville and Anderson.

I first read OZ around issue 8 when I was still trapped in the English boarding school system and completely out-of-tune with any of the proscribed futures facing me. I was also rather innocent and took much of what I read in OZ, IT, Rolling Stone and others at face value.
OZ actually originated in Australia as a student magazine in the early 1960s where it caused the same kind of stir it did when arriving in Britain just in time for the pivotal "Summer Of Love".
Both Oz and It produced comic book titles nearer the end of their lives - "Cozmic Comix" and "Nasty Tales" are featured in the comix section.

The case created a storm of controversy, but the convictions were turned over on appeal mainly because—in a very similar circumstance to their subsequent British trial—the magistrate misdirected the jury and made remarks that were later deemed prejudicial to the defence's case.

His books include a critically praised account in the 1980s of the life of French/Vietnamese serial killer Charles Sobraj, who preyed on Western tourists travelling on Asia's so-called "hippie trail" in the 1970s; the book was later adapted for a successful TV mini-series starring Art Malik.

 Oz trial lifted lid on porn squad bribery
The outcry over the 1971 Schoolkids Oz censorship trial sparked a major corruption inquiry in Whitehall which ended in the jailing of the senior officer responsible for the magazine's prosecution, newly released confidential Whitehall documents reveal.
Fenwick was eventually jailed for 10 years as the "chief architect" of the biggest ever Met corruption ring in which the Soho porn merchants had some of the most senior police officers in Britain on their weekly payroll.
The Oz case at the Old Bailey was the longest obscenity trial in British legal history.

Oz, now, like Neville, in London, would in one issue ignore the bloodbath in Vietnam and concern itself with flying saucers (Oz 9) and the next (Oz 10) run with the famous photo of the shooting of a Vietnamese NLF suspect in the head, captioned as “The Great Society Blows Another Mind”.
Oz did, however, take up gay liberation with relish, running a cover with a naked white and fl gay couple embracing, explaining that “the press is full of male pin-ups who communicate with knives and guns.
Oz expressed, with an angry insolence, radicalised youth's dislike of authoritarianism, state violence and the sheer boredom of bourgeois society.

The 1960s were in full swing and when the first issue of the underground magazine Oz was published in 1967, Dennis sent a taped message to the editor, Richard Neville, saying it was "the most f***ing fantastic mag I’ve ever seen in my life".
After Oz’s Schoolkids issue in 1970, edited by schoolchildren, and including essays on free love and a lewd cartoon strip featuring the formerly innocent Rupert Bear, the premises were raided by Special Branch and the editors charged under the Obscene Publications Act.
The Oz trial became a defining moment in the clash between the Establishment and the young hippie generation, who marched shoulder to shoulder with John Lennon and Yoko Ono in "Save Oz" protests.

First there was salmonella testing for schoolkids, then there was no testing, then there was (wasn't that a song by Donovan?) I must admit, however, that the Straw Man took some undeserved hits for the whole salmonella thing.
