The paper's criticism of the arts is also a match for the other city papers, though Film Critic Jonas Mekas tends to go overboard in his enthusiasm for the "underground movies" that are popular in the Village. In a recent ecstatic review of Andy Warhol's The Chelsea Girls, Mekas discerned not only an affinity to Victor Hugo and James Joyce, but also the very "essence and blood of our culture, the Great Society...
