...they are pure activity. Quoting him is unfair without quoting entirely one of the six poems included -- all, I think, written since he left Cambridge for the Iowa Workshop, from whence he travels this fall to Europe on an Amy Lowell Fellowship -- blut space won't permit it. "For Donald Justice," perhaps the best, is infinitely deeper and wholly more ambitious than early Grenier poems, which tended to be terse conversational fragments of point-blank incorporations of the physical environment, piece by piece. It presents motion without the encumbrances of consecutive common-sense description, and uses syntax without bowing...
...impact of petitions is hard to measure. No doubt they dramatized-and perhaps exaggerated-the intellectual community's discontent with U.S. Viet Nam war policy. By now, however, petitioning ads have become seriously overworked. Donald Keys, SANE's executive director, says: "Now it's not enough to run full-page ads in the New York Times.

Feiffer has stayed just the same -- perhaps I've come to resent him some for that stagnation -- and behold, those Limeys come back, and they haven't changed either. Michael Flanders, archetype of Shavian urbanity (imagine Peter Ustinov impersonating Tom Lehrer), and Donald Swann, a mad leprechaun escaped from some Little Men's Chowder & Marching Society (imagine Arthur Schlesinger impersonating Peter Pan) still jesting and warbling about Wilson and De Gaulle, dieting and astrology, parking problems and fixit-men. They are topical satirists, yes, and still provide a wonderfully pleasant show, but they might...
