The Hippie Temptation  

"A July 7, 1967, Time magazine cover story on "The Hippies: Philosophy of a Subculture" and an August CBS News television report on The Hippie Temptation, as well as other major media interest, exposed the hippie subculture to national attention and popularized the Flower Power movement across the country and around the world."--Sholem Stein

"As a result of the be-in, Haight-Ashbury became a national symbol. Shortly thereafter the original fabric of the hip community began to unravel as young people responding to the "hippie temptation" (examined in a CBS documentary of that title) inundated the Haight. In fact it was the media doing the tempting, and the acid ghetto was trampled to death during the Summer of Love, leaving a social sewer in its place."--Acid Dreams (1985) by Martin A. Lee, ‎Bruce Shlain

"Just recently, hippie innocence was a major theme in a CBS documentary oddly titled "The Hippie Temptation." CBS (Harry Reasoner, that is) disapproved, pointing out that the innocence is used in a hostile way (a girl taunts an annoyed policeman by insistently offering him flowers), and concluding with the (smug?) observation that people who can grow beards and make love ought to go beyond innocence to wisdom."--The Sexual Scene (1970) by John H. Gagnon, ‎William Simon
