Matchbox songs, gypsy hymns, Spanish miners, cowboy mouth, curfew gloves, child of the hoodlum, sheet-metal memories, magazine husband, a deck of cards missing the jack and the ace--he puts together the phrases and creates a person, the haunted Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, a being made of objects. "Love Minus Zero/ No Limit" is a beautiful love song fashioned out of horsemen, pawns, hammer winds, doctors, bridges, statues, fire, ice, dime stores and bus stations, bankers' nieces and wise...
...more experienced observer things would seem different. This is no longer the Harvard of John Finley, John Kennedy, or even Barney Frank. It is not just the so many pairs of striped pants, or of locks freaky hair, and round and metal rimmed glasses. Most striking is the air of restlessness among the natives.

At last, every object of admiration-including Julie Christie, whose sensual beauty has never been more sensuously photographed-is made to be only a mere and minor part of England's green, unpleasant land...
Around 10 p.m. when the harrassment started up again, units from the 82nd Airborne were brought in to replace the MP's. As they stepped into line, one by one, they stamped to attention and slapped the metal butts of their carbines on the concrete making a frightening sound. While the MP's looked like a bunch of frightened kids in uniform, the paratroopers looked tough and disciplined. The next two hours proved that they were as tough as they looked; as the soldiers inched further into the crowd more people were beaten and torn away from those who tried...
