Something else the New Leftists have in common with other Utopians is a remarkably detailed concern for the physical environment. They dream of "the total beautiful society" with smogless air, unpolluted rivers, swift and clean public transportation and, in the phrase of Atlanta Lawyer Howard Moore, "airlines carrying the people all over the country to the great museums." Paul Goodman, 55, one of the aging gurus of the New Left, spends much time visualizing how city streets could be turned into playgrounds or parks, and how motor cars could be barred from Manhattan (the last being an idea that should...
Early Doubts. "It's like a dream come true-it's almost unbelievable," says George Winston Lane, a senior at Chicago's virtually all-Negro Parker High School, who got letters of inquiry, many including application forms, from nearly 300 colleges. Modest and softspoken, George ranks fourth out of the 407 students in his class, is class president and a varsity wrestler.

...mean, arrogant, priggish and smoldering with hatred for his fellow man. Puntila sober, as Brecht sees it, is a class-conditioned animal. Puntila drunk is Rousseau's child of instinctive natural goodness. Some richly comic scenes pivot on this personality split. Puntila sober wouldn't dream of fraternizing with his chauffeur Matti; Puntila drunk begs Matti to marry his daughter. Puntila drunk gets engaged to four separate girls; Puntila sober throws the brides-to-be off his estate...
