...City's Tribeca district. By investing in everything from its dining scene (Nobu) to its arts industry (the Tribeca Film Festival), De Niro has helped establish the 'hood as one of Manhattan's hippest. And his latest debut could be his most ambitious yet: the eight-floor, 88-room Greenwich Hotel...
...culture exploding around them: sexual experimentation, an openness to drugs, the rejection of middle-class values of all kinds and most of all a hatred for the Vietnam War. The creative process reflected this freewheeling, convention-defying spirit. To cast the show, Rado and Ragni scoured the streets of Greenwich Village for people with the right look.

What was crazy 10 years ago is now respectable, even among the best-educated New Yorkers. I find that...
...which lacks order. Playboy, Esquire, and Harper’s are effectively snide in calling Kerouac and Ginsberg “immature.” Indeed they are; but, in the same sense, American poetry (outside of S.F.) appears to be senile—the aridity of a sterile Greenwich Village, or the ingrown complexity of form without substance, of structure without inspiration, which characterizes the overwhelmingly academic literature of America’s intelligentsia...
