...DREAM-LIKE QUALITY permeates Ginsberg's work; and he gives us a poem about daydreaming while he exercises, another poem that William Carlos Williams dictated to Ginsberg during his sleep and finally the nightmarish "Black Shroud...
Kennedy admits that he has no grand national vision. His premise is simple. "The truth is that hardworking families are struggling and unable to participate fully in the American dream," he says. "That's not right." Says one campaign adviser: "There's still a child's simplistic view of the world in him. He doesn't understand that the world is a place of massive grays."

Last week Kim offered to jettison his longtime dream of occupying Seoul's Blue House, provided that the ruling Democratic Justice Party agreed to permit the direct election of the next President. Said Kim: "If I don't stand for the presidency in 1988, the government has no excuse to oppose direct elections...
