...road. And said how heavy was the load . . . Won't you listen to the lambs, Bobby? They're crying for you." This appeal, in a new song by left-hearted Folk Singer Joan Baez, seems to have been answered by her friend Bob Dylan. The Minnesota-born troubadour, who in recent years abandoned his ballads of protest (Masters of War, The Times They Are A-Changin') to celebrate such bland delights as country pie and copper kettles, is out with a new single in the old angry mode, mourning the death of Soledad Brother George Jackson, killed...

...framework is missing. Anderson's reader will never know that Marx popularized the word alienation; that Freud supplied most of the vocabulary Anderson must use to discuss the "imperial self" in the first place.

Around that time, a sweet wind of humanism swept across the dark face of Europe, bringing with it a new interest in Latin classics and Greek philosophy, a delight in racy troubadour songs and epic verse, and a keener awareness of the dignity of man.

...avoid "a hassle," Arlo Guthrie and Jackie Hyde, 25, will soon take the vows-possibly in the deconsecrated Stockbridge, Mass, church that was his home in the film Alice's Restaurant. The balladeer-song-writer met his "very groovy chick" while performing in Los Angeles at the Troubadour Cafe, where she was serving tables. "She has the same philosophy I have," he says. "We're just interested in living...
