...Temple Fielding's followers [June 6] travel his kind of first class. They may think they're treading in the master's Gucci-shod footsteps, but what it adds up to after the checks are spent is more like fatuous Frommer than fastidious Fielding. Just as Lucius Beebe and his private railway car made few if any sociological waves, so Fielding and his portable martini mixer are headed for inverted snobbism's dubious Hall of Fame.

...York's Mayor John Lindsay is beset by Republican conservatives in tent on denying him G.O.P. renomination this week, and by middle-class voters discontented over late garbage trucks, rising rents and the high crime rate. He has somehow managed to endure a campaign of catcalls and criticism.

Bogus castles, renovated pubs and professional colorful characters may be all that survive of it, unless the Irish pass a miracle that has defeated other folk people and keep the flower without also keeping the dunghill...
...pants and a construction helmet with red ribbon attached. Dozens of graduating seniors at Brandeis proudly wore stenciled red fists -a symbol of dissent popular with Boston area student activists-attached to their robes. At Pomona College, something of the spirit of '69 was summed up by the class poet, James E. Rosenberg, who instead of a speech read a passionate poem of societal rebellion, replete with phallic imagery and four-letter bravado...
