...ALLEN GINSBERG IN AMERICA, by Jane Kramer. Earnest, articulate and somehow despairingly sanguine, Allen Ginsberg has evolved from a minor poet to a major cult figure-a kind of one-man air ferry between bohemian and Brahmin traditions. Wisely, perhaps, Author Kramer concentrates on the life rather than the works...
...Chicago, where a year ago this week the confrontation of cops and youthful demonstrators polarized the nation, the talk in blue-collar saloons and on the commuter trains was of the Cubs and Ken Holtzman's no-hitter against the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta's Mayor Ivan Allen casually headed for a ranch in Wyoming where he can get in touch with his city hall only by a horseback canter out of the woods to a telephone.

"People are hungering for something to get action out of," says Robert T. Allen, vice president of Shearson, Hammill & Co., the big Manhattan brokerage house. Especially hungry are the managers of "performance" mutual funds and hedge funds, both of which have sold themselves to investors on the promise that they could select stocks that would surge ahead no matter what the rest of the market did. The stocks that most of them selected-computer, conglomerate...
