...height of the Cambodian crisis-the morning of the march on Washington protesting it-President Nixon made a surprise 5 a. m. appearance at the Lincoln Memorial to chat with demonstrators who were encamped there. The most detailed report of this appearance was written by Parker Donham of the Boston Globe, who interviewed moderate students who had talked with the President. They described Nixon as being incoherent (indeed unable to put a sentence together), sickly looking and somewhat frightening. One of those interviewed described the President as "a robot out of control." In any case, he stammered, broke off into...
Mirror Image. The play is not against Communism but against tyranny, a condition that subsumes all isms.

...more than the others, focuses on the end points of speed and heroin addiction. In its "Hall of Infamy," a monthly feature on California's most strung-out freaks, the inaugural member is "Scorpion," who has just hacked his way out of the head of his alternate identity, Huey Lincoln Smith (1942-1969). He is pictured standing inside a ruptured skull, still holding the axe. The split-head image recurs in a story called "Last Hit." A girl shoots up and frazzles her mind until woolly monsters push through the top of her skull. The artwork in Bogeyman...
