Other cities reflect the same trend. In a recent study of Skid Rows in 28 major American metropolises, conducted by Sociologist Donald J. Bogue of the University of Chicago, all but four reported a population decline. For the first time in the experience of Chicago, which boasts-or at least counts-three Skid Rows, there are empty rooms now in the neighborhoods' overnight hotels. Ronald C. VanderKooi of the University (CANADA) °f Illinois predicts that Skid Row, if left alone, will probably...
...other hand there was a very hip continuation of an old trend on Atlantic. Joe Tex continued to develop himself along lines he can personally deal with and that also happen to be relevant to the contemporary urban social thing. 'Man, That's Your Baby" will certainly be one of the best of 1969 and Tex will certainly produce others like it.

In sum, 1969 probably will be much like 1968 with an intensified trend toward social comments and cultural self-awareness...
...rest of the latest batch of "rock" musicals certifies the fact that the paths of Broadway and true rock culture will continue to meet in the future. While some of the established critics will dissent--John Wilson of the Times found Promises all beat and no melody--the trend seems to be towards a modernization of the American musical. What remains to be seen is whether the New York musical theatre will receive enough potent doses of pop/rock to bring it down squarely on the side of the cultural revolution...
