The Quicksilver Times was a Washington, D.C. based underground newspaper that published somewhat sporadically from 1969 until 1972.  Founded by Terry Becker Jr. wrote in support of civil rights, feminism and gay rights.[1] Additionally the paper supported communist movements as seen in the edition highlighted in this post with a quote from Mao Zedong and an ad for the National Liberation Front in Vietnam on the back cover.

Quicksilver was also the subject of a CIA investigation during its run. [2]

There are only a handful of copies of the Quicksilver Times in the Hall Hoag Collection Part II.
