...about his targets. In Tucson to give a poetry reading at the University of Arizona, Ginsberg held a typically empurpled news conference; then he began berating Arizona Republic Correspondent Bob Thomas about a story that had appeared in the Tucson Daily Citizen criticizing the poet for his self-proclaimed sexual aberrations. When Thomas finally walked away, the guru followed and shouted a string of obscenities at him. Mother, whose day is celebrated this week, seemed to have a prominent place in the epithets.

It even had kind words for the cops, who "exercised amazing restraint, ignoring the blatant sexual activities, drinking and doping," until, finally, "the youthful vacationers asked for much of the trouble they got."
