...wind continues to howl in New Orleans though the rain is coming in patches. A few fences are down but there is no sign of large-scale flooding - yet. However, just before noon, Maj. Tim Kurgan, spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers' New Orleans district, said there was "overtopping" (that is, spilling over) on the western side of the Industrial Canal which has three main tributaries: Lake Pontchartrain, the Intercoastal Water Way, and the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, commonly known as "Mr. Go."

IT is no more obscure than absolution, and no more mythical than the sacraments and symbols of any religion. What is new about the San Francisco approach is “anarchy...

Howl succumbs to now Hum 6 readings; it is like those poems we wrote for high school literary clubs, before we came to Harvard. But Ginsberg and his fellows mean it. And if IT means homosexuality, dope, jazz, or death—then these are the instruments...
