...thousands who flock each summer weekend to its white sand beaches and boardwalk carnival rides, Asbury Park, N.J., seems a tidy, if somewhat faded haven of tranquillity. But it is also, like many American small towns, a community where "across the tracks" still has a vivid, invidious meaning. To the east of the Penn Central railroad line, where well-kept lawns sweep toward the Atlantic Ocean, live most of Asbury Park's 12,500 whites. On the West Side, in a ghetto of frame houses splaying out from Springwood Avenue, live most of Asbury Park...
Galleries first came to SoHo two years ago when Paula Cooper opened her cosy aerie up three flights of creaky, splintery stairs. More recent arrivals include Max Hutchinson, a peripatetic Australian; Reese Palley, an Atlantic City Boardwalk porcelain salesman; and smooth-talking, Brooklyn-born Ivan Karp. Uptown dealer Richard Feigen maintains a downtown branch in SoHo, and two more uptown power houses-Castelli and Emmerich-recently announced plans to open outlets in the neighborhood...
...Boardwalk. Park Place. Ventnor and Atlantic Avenues, not to mention Marvin Gardens.

Gloria arbitrarily accepts Rocky's put-down as her epitaph. Out on the boardwalk and out of the marathon, she aims a pistol at her temple. Then, for the first time, her temerity falters. "Help me," she begs Robert, and Robert obligingly turns the attempted suicide into a murder. The farm boy's explanation to the police: "They shoot horses, don't they?" Yes, they do-but only when the animal is broken. As Fonda plays the part, Gloria is a born survivor, a cork of a woman who would bob to the surface of a sewer...
Inside a cavernous recreation center at the seaside resort of Brighton, not far from the seedy boardwalk game booths, members of Britain's battered Labor Party last week unofficially launched their campaign for the country's next elections. No date for the balloting has even been set. Prime Minister Harold Wilson can call an election at any time within the next 18 months, and might do so as early as next spring. Nonetheless, Labor, at what could well be its last annual conference before the voting, was off and running. And despite the party's current lack...
