Died. Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, 94, India's elder statesman and a principal lieutenant of Mohandas Gandhi during their country's struggle for independence; in Madras, India. A Brahman lawyer who joined Gandhi in 1919, "Rajaji" served his mentor as publisher and administrative aide. His leadership in passive resistance against the British led to frequent jail terms. Though his prophetic support for a separate Moslem state-which became Pakistan-caused a break with Gandhi in 1942, he later rejoined his old ally and in 1948 became India's first native-born Governor-General.

...anguished protest poem Howl ("I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness . . .") set the stage for the Beat scene. Since then, often unwashed yet somehow steeped in cleansing waves of culture, sometimes naked but never far removed from the whole cloth of bohemian and Brahman tradition, Allen Ginsberg has gained celebrity not only as a poet but as a practicing pansexualist and pioneer in psychedelia. He has also preached all manner of revolutionary activities that could lead to the overthrow of what he considers society's "hallucination" regarding money and power...
