...Real Paper is no longer radical and no longer collective, and neither are most of the nation's other so-called alternative, or underground, newspapers. Ten years after Woodstock-and nearly a quarter-century after the Village Voice was launched as an alternative to New York City's conventional dailies-the alternative press has become so established that it is very nearly Establishment itself. Gone for the most part are the radical polemics, scatological prose and serendipitously amateur design that were staples of underground journalism. In their place are entertainment listings, movie and record reviews, consumer buying guides...
...major alternative weeklies are becoming bastions of bourgeois buck chasing. Boston's weekly Phoenix (paid circulation 68,000, free distribution 50,000) averages 150 pages, promotes itself exuberantly on radio and television, and grossed $4 million last year; its publisher drives a counterrevolutionary Rolls-Royce. The rival Real Paper (48,000 paid, 57,000 free) is owned by a former state legislator, a corporate lawyer, and a Rockefeller heir. Chicago...

In defense of Huggins and the university, he produced a research paper, published in 1958, that appeared to explain the surgery: it was performed seven years earlier with family consent on only six schizophrenics, two of whom also had cancer -one in the prostate gland, the other in the breasts...

He also favors small-town real estate, on the theory that the collapse of large cities would accelerate the flight of middle-class and prosperous whites from urban areas. Investors should start stockpiling a year's supply of food to get them through the first calamitous period, along with spare auto parts and standard ammunition; the latter can be used for both barter and self-protection...
...drawings to making strange pasiches of immature Picasso, the artist of the blue period, with his wistful clowns and phthisic women. Kitaj's three Bathers, with their iridescent blooms of pastel and general air of tentative anxiety, pay homage to the blue period. But they stare from the paper with the look of rough creatures trapped in an alien element, refugees from Goya and Velásquez as well as from the 20th century. This ability to suggest cultural continuity in the midst of a general malaise may be the final rea son why Kitaj's art haunts...
