...people seem to be willing to proclaim their patriotism these days, and Fourth of July oratory has gone out of fashion. But John F. Kennedy's inaugural address was squarely in the old spine-tingling tradition. "Ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country." And more: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." There was an affirmation...
Thus last week in the mecca of mindlessness did the hippies proclaim their own demise. It was probably inevitable. Their every antic reported at length in the national and local press, their ranks swollen with thousands of "plastic" or part-time hippies, their language and life-style copied by "straight" society, the hippies of San Francisco have come to feel that hip is no longer a fun trip.

They would be convinced that George III has not one grain of tyranny in his composition. A man of his fine...
...Andrei Sinyavsky, the two writers sentenced in February to five and seven years at hard labor for "maligning" Mother Russia in their work. Then, in dazzling transition, Greene added that his letter "must in no way be regarded as an attack" on the Soviet Union, went on to proclaim that he would rather live in Russia than in the U.S., in Cuba than in Bolivia, and in North Viet Nam than in South. Most of Britain's press responded with angry bewilderment. "Does Greene really believe that he would be allowed to publish what he wanted in Russia, Cuba...
