...kids who made up the New Left and counterculture are men and women now. They did not merely step onto the centrifuge of the '60s and pinwheel themselves out in the direction of Aquarius, to vanish forever. Many simply settled down. Says David Dellinger, 62, an elder statesman of the movement: "A lot of people had been leading emergency lives fbr-a-long time. They had put off schooling, babies, their own lives." Whatever their real accomplishments, the New Leftists and their allies during the '60s were engaged in an immense, new kind of theater...
...their gravity remains behind, like the Cheshire Cat's mocking grin. No one has yet seen a black hole, since not even a single ray of light can escape the powerful gravitational grasp. But this fact has not deterred imaginative relativity theorists. Refusing to believe that anything can vanish into nothingness, they have argued that when matter drops into a black hole, it may actually be entering a twisting, Einsteinian labyrinth through space and time. According to this hypothesis, before an astronomer can mutter E = mc2, the material pops out in some distant place many light-years away-perhaps...
Between the Lines seems to end in mid-arc. The bad guys have just taken over the Mainlinethe good guys, having spent most of the film in limbo, now find the resolve to leave, to develop the talents they have allowed to moulder.

But Superfolks, political or apolitical, is still a very funny book. Even Lord Nietzsche would have chuckled...
...South Boston and Dorchester. He seems incapable of patronizing them. Although we see them as ignorant, fearful of change, bigoted, and often violent, their finer qualities--loyalty, pride, a sense of tradition, bravery--are also there. Scorn is reserved for the meddling "goo-goos," the knee-jerk liberals who vanish in crisis, the Brattle Street chic who, safely on the sidelines, their children in private schools, applaud Garrity's ruling. At times, Liberty's Chosen Home is devastating social history: the concerned group of clergymen unable to agree on a joint statement about the crisis over their breakfast...
