...Lebensraum could be the political cry of the street hips. When he was in New York, Morea and his Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers literally battled the police for control of the Lower East Side. This summer he moved to Boston, where the street hip community has been engaged in a hassle over sleeping rights on the Boston Common. After receiving many complaints from Charles St. merchants and residents, White slapped a curfew on the Common. Night after night, there were dozens of arrests. Some nights, there was violence.

While speculators and anyone fortunate enough to own land are delighted by the sudden riches they find underfoot, the high prices have already slowed construction of badly needed middle- and low-income housing in West Germany, threaten to do the same elsewhere. The land lust has also produced a longdistance effect: a Florida land boom in West Germany. Germans seeking "Lebensraum with a View" are biting hard at tempting lures dangled by U.S. real estate men offering Florida land, sight unseen, for as little as 5½? per square foot...
