...Berkeley's aging young agitators, it was a dreamlike revival of past hell raising. To Berkeley's recently confident administrators, it was a sickening replay of two-year-old nightmares. Cops swung clubs on campus. Angry students scratched and bit policemen, or defiantly lay prone. The perennial martyr, Non-Student Mario Savio, exhorted cheering students, some perched in trees, to stay out of class. Nearly 2,000 of them did, and Berkeley again seemed close to coming unhinged...
Teeny hoppers and overaged juveniles, surfers and Hell's Angels, high school dropouts and stay-ins alike, pile in by the thousands to writhe to the electronic thunder of the Byrds, the Jefferson Airplane and the New Generation in such clubs as It's Boss (formerly Giro's), The Trip (once the Crescendo) and Pandora's Box. Teen Idols Sonny & Cher invented folk rock there and, at the same time, set off the craze for ruffled bellbottoms. The Strip became the perfect place for flaunting rebellion, for catching the latest underground movie at the Cinematheque...
...Paris Burning? "Well, what the hell," said General Eisenhower, "I guess we'll have to go in."

...played with Artie Shaw, Les Brown, Tommy Dorsey (four times) and Harry James (three times), once even took a fling at being a nightclub crooner. Trouble was, Rich had and still has a low regard for bandleaders. "The drummer is the real quarterback of a band," he says. "Hell, Guy Lombardo might just as well be hailing a cab on the bandstand. None of the musicians look at him." The compulsion to say what he thinks has led the stick-thin drummer (5 ft. 8 in., 125 Ibs.) into a lot of free-swinging battles. He has thrown punches...
There was hell to pay in Paris when Gustave Eiffel built his 984-ft. tower for the Paris Exposition in 1889. There was still more when he did not tear it down afterward. Now the graceful Parisian skyline will be altered even more drastically-by a proposed 55-story office building that will loom over Saint-Germain-des-Prés like an enormous elliptical cigarette case, dwarf Notre Dame and top out 20 feet higher than the lofty tip of Sacré-Coeur...
