...recurrent theme is that there must be purity at home first, that the U.S. must heal its own sick society before it can presume to treat others. What, then, do the New Leftists prescribe for the U.S.? They know what they do not want, but not necessarily what they want. Typical is a statement by Clark Kissinger, 26, a former S.D.S. national secretary who ran for alderman in Chicago (and won 864 votes out of 18,-970): "You can imagine the system as a table. Lyndon Johnson sits at the head of the table, labor has a place...
...KNOW I CAN'T HEAR YOU WHEN THE WATER'S RUNNING. Four consistently droll, frequently hilarious, and occasionally touching playlets by Robert Anderson, who plays his variations on a theme of sex-as an element of shock in art, a waning force in middle age, a matter of concern to parents, a misty memory of the aged...

...appreciate the new Lampoonthe "Games People Play Number." In comparison to the last few issues, it looks pretty good. Just as we were getting sick of the merino-joke re-runs, they have disappeared to make room for almost entirely new copy. Not only that, but in the "games" theme the Lampoon has found a big, bright, hard-to-miss bullseye. With a theme, and a fairly simple one, to focus on, the Poonies are on target more often than usual. Most of the six or seven games they have invented are mildly funny-sometimes very mildly-but at least...
