...days it was touch and go. First Denett seemed the weaker, then Jeanett sank alarmingly, with mucus threatening to choke her. Surgeons cut a hole in her neck and passed a silver tube into her windpipe to provide extra oxygen and speed drainage. Next day Jeanett went into unexplained spasms. Adrenaline-like drugs, and her own vitality, pulled her through that crisis. Last week, with infinite relief, the University of Oregon doctors pronounced the operation a success. Their greatest immediate danger past, both babies were doing well...

Now the crush is so great that the bookstore has been expanded, and Ferlinghetti's only slightly offbeat A Coney Island of the Mind (New Directions) has sold a surprising 15,000 copies. The really far-out beatniks do even better. Allen Ginsberg's effete epic, Howl, published by Ferlinghetti, is up to 40,000 copies in print, and Fantasy Records is preparing a disk...
