...antiwar groups plan to open a "fall offensive" for peace with land and sea demonstrations at the summer White House next week. And Nixon may well be witness to one of the least violent protests ever planned when a group of "Women Against War Toys" marches to the beach below his clifftop castle to construct an edifice of their own: a sand castle for peace...

After precocious turns at turning on, dropping out, shipping out and even bugging out (into a mental asylum for eight months), Ginsberg drifted to San Francisco's North Beach in 1953. There he abandoned all vestigial attempts to play it straight. Instead, he decided to "cultivate my perceptions, cultivate the visionary thing in me.
