Ghetto spokesmen warned during a meeting with city officials that unless looters and minor offenders were released on their own recognizance, "we will tear this town apart."

In its name they have demanded equal billing with the works they judge. "It is inconceivable," says Roland Barthes, one of the movement's chief spokesmen, "that the creative laws governing the writer should not also be valid for the critic. All criticism is criticism both of the work under consideration and of the critic...
