...just slightly unconventional enough to make it provocative. The need for journalists like Wolfe is clear, and he has become the most talked about, the most imitated, if not the most bewildering journalist of the '60s. Wolfe's first collection of articles-The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby, written mostly for Esquire and New York magazine-was a carnival of pieces about custom-car styling and demolition derbies, teenage tribal rock music, Las Vegas, and the girl of the year. His reportage on the rages and outrages of modern America's cultural phenomena was fascinating...
...connections with an untapped reservoir of basketball strength--the New Delhi school-yards. At 6-8 Galbraith might even fit into the picture as player-coach. Next year's Ivy League championship game could feature a head-to-head shoving match between Galbraith and Columbia's other-worldly flake, 7-0 Dave Newmark. We've been told (and George Plympton should know) that the Canadian-born scholar is quite a mover. Fast big men are hard to find...
...kicks, Killy races fast cars and jumps from airplanes; he has tried his hand at bullfighting, and he has a well-deserved reputation as something of a flake.

Before tableting, says U.S.P., the basic chemical must be in tabular or needlelike crystals or crystalline powder; to produce a dependable dissolving rate, Bayer requires a special flake shape and needle shape (slender, tapered at both ends). U.S.P. permits .5% moisture and weight loss on drying; Bayer will tolerate none. U.S.P. allows up to .1% free salicylic acid; Bayer holds to one-third of that, and halves three other U.S.P. permissible deviations from absolute purity. In the finished tablets, U.S.P. accepts...
Strollers wear jingle bells at their ankles, beads or flowers at their throats, and strum guitars or tootle flutes. It is not rare to see a Haight Street hippie put a dime in a parking meter, then flake out along the curb for a legal dose of sun tan. Wall posters, in the style of China's Red Guard movement, abound-most of them signed "Love" or "Peace" and bearing such timeless messages as "Gypsy come home-your mother is pushed out of shape...
