...riots and extortion at Job Corps camps, where underprivileged youths from 16 to 21 are housed and given job training. Bureaucratic delays in processing Job Corps applications have caused countless prospective trainees to lose interest in the program. In Chicago and other cities, critics of anti-poverty youth programs object chiefly that they are uninspired make-work projects patterned after the boondoggling Depression...
...Towers exemplify what Hopps calls California's "crazy tradition for assemblage and the object." And, as such, they set the keynote for the freshest of West Coast art, which is the newest rage on the U.S. gallery scene (see color pages).

...some empathy on the part of his questioner, Leary seized the first opportunity to let me know that our "interviewer-victim relationship" was a "game" he had played many times before. His essentially conservative demeanor became even clearer when he essayed hip speech for a moment, mimicking those who object to imposing any structure on the psychedelic experience: "just let it happen, baby." Spoken by Leary, these words sounded no more authentic than if they had issued from the mouth of N.M. Pusey...
