Some places have grown into nightclubs, notably Chicago's famed Second City and San Francisco's hungry 1; a few are still more or less beat, and suffer for it. The famed Gas House in Los Angeles' Venice West grows ever longer on sideburns and shorter on talent. Denver's Green Spider hides behind an exterior mural of a fat blonde nude dancing with a shocking-pink centaur, and has no entertainment except spontaneous poetry readings by bearded bards who specialize in dirty dactyls...
...Republicans of post-election days suffer painfully from the experience of a loss far more significant than the extremely close election returns indicate. They have none of the energy and charm of their opponents in office, and the cohesion of the campaign is no longer with them. If they follow Senator Goldwater they want to "obstruct" the programs of the now Administration; if they are more cautious they content themselves with Senator Dirksen's wish to "modify" them...
...Need for God. In The Light and the Dark Lewis continues to suffer, but from the sidelines. The setting is Cambridge, where, in the '30s, Lewis has become an academic cog.

Last week the advice was raining down to the steady beat of one theme: more Government spending, conspicuously including deficit spending...
...artificial system of price supports, and of thousands of grain elevators, overflowing with surplus accumulated from the years after the Korean War, that open to flood the market every time the market price exceeds that guaranteed in price supports. Nor is the farmer the only man to suffer. Forced to buy crops on the high domestic market, the government then takes a loss when it must reduce its price considerably to sell them again on the international market...
