...Mumford, the city seems a place where a nineteenth century man--rural, self-sufficient, intellectual--can reach some sort of compromise with modernity. Many young people, however, seem to see positive values in the chaos and closeness of city--a chance to meet other people, and share an almost communal experience...
That performance has made the stock of the publicly owned corporation one of the highest-flying issues on the Paris Bourse. Over the past five months, its price has risen from $88 to $120 per share.

In this cycle of 29 love poems, adolescent maundering most often conquers whatever maturity of poetic line or concept should be expected...
While poets are finding fresh and forceful ways to address their times, and an increasing number of literary journals are devoting themselves to poetry, the folk-rock singers and lyricists have pre-empted a sizable share of the primary poetic audience-the young. It may be that youth finds it easier to grapple with the social commentary found in Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" or in the political-protest songs of Bob Dylan than with the more complicated work of poets like Berryman. Or it may be that the poem as ballad is simply coming back into...
