...Julian Bond, the S.N.C.C. public relations director, who was denied a seat in the Georgia legislature because of his admiration of draft-card burners, acknowledges he is "looking for a good job." He has not been paid his $85-a-week salary for two months. Other "older" S.N.C.C. officials may follow. Trusty financial contributors are slipping away, repelled by Carmichael's brand of racism. The organization no longer has a friendly working relationship with Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which is opposed to Carmichael's philosophy and irritated by his financial fecklessness. Though S.N.C.C...

...says Joseph Campbell, professor of literature at Sarah Lawrence. The antihero, suggests Campbell, is a disease of New York, "a city which is a psychological calamity and which has no connection with the land America." In a very real way, the land America prefers Humphrey Bogart and James Bond. Bogart demonstrates the belief that a man can be tough but tender, ugly but sexy. The Bond syndrome suggests a yearning for the old-fashioned action hero, free from conventional fetters. Says Sociologist Marshall Fishwick of the University of Delaware: "The playboy is a cowboy who has just discovered woman...
