Obituary: Felix Dennis, publisher
Felix Dennis began his career in magazines selling the underground hippy publication Oz on the streets in the 1960s. He went on to become its co-editor, was convicted and ultimately acquitted on obscenity charges, and he subsequently made millions with specialist magazines on everything from personal computers to kung-fu.
Oz, with its left-wing politics and frank approach to sex and drugs, was a landmark in British cultural history. The trial of The Oz Three, turned into the longest conspiracy trial in English judicial history and a highly charged and colourful battle for the freedom of the press.
