Then you were lifted out of the smoke and grime--and memories better left in the ashtray--and propelled into the sub-ether by Sun Ra and the Space Arkestra. If you grew up devouring Heinlein, Asimov, del Rev, Sturgeon, Bradbury and all the rest, you can't help resenting Sun Ra a little. You think to yourself that this guy just said to himself, "Outer space, yeah, that's what's happening; I think I'll make some outer space music." The lyrics, when they occur and when you can make them out, are so simple and naive that...
...black balled from groups," "You're wicked an devil because you're blackhearted." "You wear black to funerals and white to weddings," "You can tell a good guy because he wears a white hat," little Black children see a cleanser on TV that cleans all black dirt and grime like a white tornado and they see the tooth decay villain dressed in black (causing the teeth of kids like them to hurt) and they see a toothpaste agent all in white destroying the nasty ugly tooth decay villain, "If a Black cat crosses your path, it's bad luck...

The plays are pure naturalism: the kitchen sink is never out of sight, and the weary labor of washing off the pit grime when the man comes home occurs in each of them. Yet, unlike the angry Osbornes and Weskers, Lawrence composes his homely details with the power of tragic necessity rather than the passion of protest...
...appealing because the girl is not so slick and a rhyming comic strip about a bosomy heroine's scrapes with sex. The best article is by Edward Bastian, a graduate in political science from the University of Iowa, who spent a month in Viet Nam and captures the grime of the war. "You're always soaked, always miserable," he writes, describing the infantryman's lot, plodding through mud and swamps. "Your boots stink and your socks rot-and your feet rot if you aren't careful." Which goes to prove that there's more...
