...Nikita Khrushchev packed his extra truthbrush, someone else beat him to the U.S.'s broad, well-woofed welcome mat. In New York Harbor's Gravesend Bay, the new Holland-America liner Rotterdam met the Dutch destroyer Gelderland, transferred a special passenger: plumply pretty Princess Beatrix, 21, heiress presumptive to the throne of The Netherlands. Under cloudbursts of ticker tape, she was driven up lower Broadway, incidentally passing over the site where marooned Dutch sailors spent the winter of 1613 as the first white inhabitants of Manhattan.

...thing a beatnik cannot abide is a square. The bearded, sandaled beat likes to be with his own kind, to riffle through his quarterlies, write craggy poetry, paint crusty pictures, and pursue his never-ending quest for the ultimate in sex and protest. When deterred from such pleasures by the goggle-eyed from Squaresville, the beatnik packs his pot (marijuana), shorts and bongo drums, grabs his black-hosed, pony-tailed beatchick and cuts out.

A major reason was just this sort of cohesive orneriness...
...reason is quite simple: that is how things are. Smaragthi remains consistent to the end, unmarried, herself a sort of mermaid Madonna who rolls naked in the sea like a porpoise but shrinks with revulsion from a man's touch. The fishermen soak up the local booze, beat their wives, and listen with awe to the tavernkeeper's yarns about the wonders of America, where he made his pile. An ancient crone tells wondrous fairy tales. A pathetic schoolmaster dreams of the great day when Greece will rise and take Anatolia from the Turks. But above all, there...
