Circa 1960 every magazine had to have a beatnik feature; it was part of the editorial policy. I imagine editors bawling out their staff: 'Where's the goddam beatnik stuff?!'. Nugget, April 1960, was no exception. There is another page featuring part-time 'bitnique', Dione, but it's just her in the nude. It's pure coincidence that I posted a photo of myself playing chess a few days ago, then found Nugget and the week-end beat girl, doing the same thing. At the time, I probably fancied myself as a beatnik too...only at week-ends, of course.
