...nationalist revolution is outlined in the concluding essay, a speech given by Professor G. William Domhoff at a University of California student strike rally in 1968. The weapon of the radical is "psychic guerrilla warfare"--non-violent confrontation politics, waged with "unfailing good humor, psychological analysis, and the flower power of the hippie." Beginning with a core of academics and intellectuals, the movement will win over blue collar workers, small businessmen and farmers, and eventually the New Right, another foe of the corporate giants...
...fair juror, but rather a strong, biased and sometimes hypocritical individual who believes that defendants are different in kind, rather than degree. You are not looking for any member of a minority group-they almost always empathize with the accused. You are not looking for the freethinkers and flower children...
Guterman's main attempt so far has been to create a circus atmosphere. At lunch in Horn & Hardart's branch at Eighth Avenue and 58th Street in Manhattan, customers stand three deep to eat at a new "Burger in the Park" counter, complete with plastic-flower-lined paths, AstroTurf and cut-out clouds.

Chosen and elegantly catalogued by Art Historian Stuart Carey Welch, the 86 miniatures from American collections constitute one of the year's more delectable shows. The word Mogul has come...
...dreams. It presupposes a return to the origins of form, to the half-articulate, the instinctive: uncensored desire. Me Tarzan, you Raphael. Dubuffet's art speaks directly to anyone who wants to abolish the humanist past-that area of art that insists that man is the flower of the universe and can, by force and subtlety of intellect, control it. His images assert the opposite: a nude becomes a lump of hairy pink clay with a pinhead, swagging numbles and a skin so gouged by fissures, cracks and graffiti that it is on the verge of turning into...
