...Lawyer James D. Lorenz Jr., now 30, gave up private law practice in Los Angeles two years ago to establish California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc., which provides free legal help to the state's farm workers, many of them Mexican Americans. C.R.L.A. works through the law and tackles anything from predatory salesmen who extract $500 in time-payments from uncomprehending victims for $100 cameras, to California Governor Ronald Reagan, who tried vainly last year to curtail the program's influence. C.R.L.A. has won 85% of the 4,000 cases it has taken to court. The benefits, as Lorenz...

...WHEN Hammond turns to up-beat territory that his stiff demeanor undercuts his enthusiasm. His "Johnny One Note" lacks flair, even though he does well with all the tricky Lorenz Hart lyrics.

Destruction artists try to draw their esthetic justification on an odd mixture -the theories on aggression propounded by Austrian Naturalist Konrad Lorenz, Aristotle's idea of dramatic catharsis, and pop-psych. "We're all very hostile," says Ortiz. "The guy who beats his kid, the wife who has affairs. But art becomes a place where one can deal with the most chaotic problems without threatening one's emotional and physical well-being." Whatever the merits of destruction art, Ortiz's grasp of psychology is clearly sketchy, at least by Freudian lights. The master taught that both...

...Lorenz points out that men and rats share the dubious distinction of being the only carnivores with no innate inhibitions against attacking members of their own species. Early man was too weak to do so. But as he developed weapons, he learned to cherish the "warrior virtues" of truculent masculinity and pleasure in dominating others. Though he also developed moral restraints against killing, these are not natural and tend to collapse under stress. Seeking a really nonviolent community, anthropologists point with hope to the peace-loving pygmies of the Ituri rain forest in the Congo. Unlike other men, those "primitives...
