...lost its ambition; now nearly all of its programs are movies. Worse, they are seen only in black and white, and are not strictly first-run (last week's offerings included Frank Sinatra in The Detective). In earlier days, WHCT was more venturesome. It carried a 1963 Joan Baez concert live ($1.50) and the 1964 Clay-Liston fight ($3). That drew 63% of the clientele. There have been other signs of pay-TV appeal. Patients at a Hartford old folks' hospital who got their service free were so enthusiastic that they made a bed-to-bed collection...
Dressed in a blue blouse and grey skirt and wearing a new, close-cropped hairdo, Folk Singer Joan Baez looked more like yesterday's gym teacher than today's pop protester.

Bob Dylan is part of it; the Bob Dylan that Joan Baez called the Dada King. (Everybody Must Get Stoned.) It includes writers like Nabokov, (or, in another way) Donald Barthelme (Snow White, Come Back Dr. Caligari, Unnatural Practices, Unspeakable Acts), and several New York School Poets (Koch, Ashberry, O'Hara). It includes such Zen masters as Joshu, who was given to putting...
