...frontier. On balance, the new writers seem to have concluded that there is nothing very much there. 2) The fires of radicalism have grown cold. Thirty years ago, the little magazines were militantly leftist as a matter of course; today nothing is of less concern than politics of any stripe. The bohemian revolutionary, like the collegiate John Reed Club, seems to have died with World...
...Brokensha on the vibes, and Cannonball Adderley, the meanest alto sax this side of Basin Street. The cats in the crowd yowled for all of them.

This quivering creature defies and submits at the same time, as if knowing that from the same hand it will receive both death and immortality...
...omen yet: an announcement that industrial production had jumped 2.5% in April-the biggest increase since December 1959. But the great debate among U.S. economists last week dealt not with the prospects for recovery but with a problem that may well endure far beyond recovery: unemployment. Economists of the stripe of Federal Reserve Board Chairman William McChesney Martin Jr. believe that, for the first time in its history, the U.S. may be facing the emergence of several million "unemployables"-men and women who cannot get jobs even in good times...
