...corporation. But whether the sensation-seeking journal of New Left opinion actually was dead was still uncertain. Hinckle said the situation was so hopeless that he would start a new publication, mischievously called "Barricades," that would be "an investigative, swinging magazine just like the old Ramparts"-but free of debt. Yet Frederick Mitchell, a 35-year-old former history professor who has reportedly put $500,000 of his inherited funds into Ramparts since becoming publisher two years ago, vowed that "even if I have to put out a four-page mimeograph of Ramparts, I'll do that...
...inactivity must lie with Chairman Dixon. According to their findings, authority in the Commission is extremely centralized: Dixon is responsible for most decisions on what complaints to consider, what enforcement tactics to use, what information to withhold from the public. Appointed in 1960 by Kennedy as a Southern political debt, Dixon has driven, says the report, most Republicans out of high-level positions, and has staffed the agency with cronies, political appointees, and Southerners who share little of the interest of some low-grade attorneys in vigorous industry regulation.

Brown's work owes a debt to the mobile sculpture of Alexander Calder and the abstract expressionist painting of Jackson Pollock. His scores are graphic in their detail and precision, but he believes in a certain improvisation or mobility within a performance itself. Therein lies the influence of Calder, whose mobiles are made of 15 to 20 parts moving freely in space and changing their relationships with one another from minute to minute. Pollock...
...down of old poetic forms in an effort to initiate a fresh dialogue between the poet and his audience. What has emerged in the U.S. is a crop of poets who cannot be pigeonholed in schools or academies, whether they are writing in free verse or with a conscious debt to form. Among them, James Dickey and John Berryman have become the most prominent, while Robert Lowell continues to be the most profound force among the more formal American poets...
