There are two sides to the generation gap. Just as there are graybeards over 30 who don't know where it's at, there are peach fuzzes barely 20 who haven't the foggiest of where it used to be. Take the traditional college experience, for example. The fiercest barricades used to be social, not political-because the politics were personal, not ideological. It was more important to get in with the right people than get on with the struggle against an unjust world. The results, in those days, were relationships that were both sturdy and slightly...
...devices, described here outside their stage context, will inevitably suggest the reverse. The hundreds of vivid and contemporary visual references with which Mr. Mayer has leavened this text--derived exclusively (excepting the interpolated songs) from the King James Version, Gospels and Apocrypha--are not, I think, to be take as acid annotations on either the myth they illustrate or the times which produced their referant images. Rather they serve to make unexpectedly immediate a story which it may seem has been literally told to death. Not so long ago, the armband had brief life in this town as the visible...
...ORLEANS--These days we youth take over buildings, we evict deans, we do verbal war with our mentors. So it goes. We didn't always play these games in particular.

Then, with the coming of the Civil Rights Movement, Negroes started working their way into the system. It was Macon County that elected the first black sheriff ever (or since reconstruction) in the South. (His name was Lucius Amerson. It got lots of New York Times...
People come to New Orleans to get drunk. During Mardi Gras they close off the French Quarter and the people swell into the streets. By dawn you can't take a step without crushing a beer can. The Jax beer brewery is right here in the Quarter on the banks of the Mississippi River. Good beer that Jax. And cheap: only thirty cents in most bars. People drink it all the time. Last night I had a dream that the daily afternoon cloud burst happened to be Jax beer this time around. It was a little sticker than the usual...
