...Francisco's Beatland for material for a film. Latest beatnik hit, published last month: a murky outpouring called Second April ("O man, thee is onion-constructed in hot gabardine"), by a scraggly bard named Bob Kaufman-2,500 copies already in print. Why the popularity? The beat blather certainly is not literature. But it can be amusing, and at its best, more fun to recite in the bathtub than anything since Vachel Lindsay's The Congo. Sample from Bomb (4,000 copies in print), by Gregory Corso, 28, a curly-haired youngster whose earlier Gasoline (95?) has gone...
...full columns in your Aug. 6 issue of blather about Dems and Catholics and the prospects of combination of them to "help muffle the issue"?

When one recalls Britain's ardent wooing of Tito, the omission may seem to be less than accidental...
...Bell, he can "be saved; our culture can be humanized and human dignity restored; our education can be rescued from those who now emasculate it; the Church can become once more truth-centered, God-centered. All this can happen-but only if we raise up rebels . . . [against] the blather of the crowd. Against the latter we must be rebels, not because we hate the Common Man but because we love him deeply. This is our reasonable service, our religious duty...
