...Lenny, which opened on Broadway last week, the stand-up comic with the dirty mouth who died five years ago of a heroin overdose at the age of 40 has become a folk hero of the counterculture. The smartass kid from New York with his run-of-the-strip-joint shtiks ends by challenging the hypocrisies and fears and inequities of the whole square world out there...
...Peachtree, another youth community holds sway. Boutiques and head shops, long hair and beards, communal living and radical politics set the residents of the counterculture's Southern headquarters off from their contemporaries at Uncle Sam's.

More than that, Israel demanded ironbound guarantees from the U.S. that if there were any cross-canal troop movements, Washington would 1) veto any Security Council resolution censuring Israeli retaliation and 2) provide direct support if Israel...
...cannot go into a department store and buy a print of a Warhol. But go down a couple of floors and they proliferate among the groceries: row after row of Brillo cartons, absurd ziggurats of Mott's apple juice and Del Monte peaches towering up under the flat strip lighting. By now nobody who has seen a Warhol can enter a supermarket without the hallucinatory and even monstrous feeling that life is imitating art and that the principle of repetition and meaningless abundance on which Warhol's work is based has created its own landscape, as surely...
