Sandaled Shades. But mainly, traces of the beat forefathers remain in the coffeehouses only on menus or signs on the walls. Neatly dressed college kids at Caf&233; Bizarre in Manhattan's Greenwich Village observe a sign that advertises POETS AND FOLK SWINGERS, order such delicatessen as the Suffering Bastard Sundae ($4.75 for four). Even Washington, D.C., the municipal square root, has Coffee 'n' Confusion, where manicured men in dark blue suits and ladies in tailored dresses stare at a sign that says WELCOME COOL GOOLS...
