Howl, once effective as counterculture manifesto, is now an unconvincing historical oddity: "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness."

...adult development course meets in a two-hour lecture every Friday afternoon with a one-hour section during the week. Harry M. Lasker, lecturer on Education, faces the unusually large class--more than 70 students who scrawl down notes from his casually delivered lecture. The students frequently interrupt Lesser's presentation with questions and Lesser leaves time at the end of the two hours to field any other questions the students might have...
