Luce was interested in the young and what they thought. Only a few days before his death, on a visit to San Francisco, he insisted on being taken to the Haight-Ashbury beatnik district to observe how today's far-out young play.

He was also interested in the Rule of Law, which became practically a crusade with him as he persuaded Presidents and Prime Ministers to push...
Harper's Bazaar works at being "not merely the arbiter but the vanguard of fashion" through a combination of hard and soft surprises. Hard (far-out) surprises in the March issue, out next week, include Ferrari-inspired shoes that are red, black, green and yellow, and have wheels and a red "2" painted on their sides.

The paraphernalia ranges from such objects of contemplation as a polished cow's tooth ($2.50) to poster-size enlargements of current underground heroes such as Lenin, Dostoevsky and Oscar Wilde. But not even Thomas DeQuincey in his wildest opium-pipe dream could have imagined the success that such accessory shops are beginning to enjoy...
...startling thing is that a great many Americans now agree with him. After five years of lurid reports about an "underground cinema," U.S. moviegoers have caught the show. For the first time, a large audience has tuned in on experimental film and is beginning to believe what a far-out few have been saying for years: the movies are entering an era of innovation that attempts to change the language of film and reeducate the human...
