The Beat-era City Lights Bookshop, where Jack Kerouac gave drunken poetry readings, and the Purple Onion, the takeoff nightspot for Phyllis Diller and the Kingston Trio. Iced Campari among jet-setters at Enrico's Sidewalk Cafe, and hamburgers among Oriental teen-agers at Clown Alley. White-shod tourists and Mohawked punks.

Says a senior Western diplomat in Jidda: "They are timid balancers. Their power is in their pocketbooks, not their guns." The Saudis can avoid a clash as long as the Iranians limit their attacks to tankers at sea. If they hit ships in the vicinity of the Saudi port of Ras Tanura or the Kuwaiti port of Mena al Ahmadi, a Saudi or Kuwaiti response might be unavoidable.

...brutality and clamoring for more food. Hundreds of people blocked the town's entrance with boulders and then marched on the police and army headquarters.
