...about poetry. My favorite poem was "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, which my father recited to us frequently because it was written about my brother's birthday. I didn't enjoy reading poems; they were difficult, and I didn't think they were interesting enough to make the difficulty worthwhile.

Even that does not solve the inflation problem. A solution requires still an extra degree of unemployment and economic slack?enough to make the most skilled workers fear loss of their jobs if they demand higher wages and to make employers pale at the thought of the markets they will lose if they raise prices.

At the time of the killing, their cameras were both close enough to get the beginning of the murder on film, and far enough removed from the whole rock and youth scene to put the event into some perspective. The result is a strong, remorseless but sensationalized documentary called Gimme Shelter, in which the Maysles and their skillful co-director Charlotte Zwerin attempt to give both a narrative and journalistic structure...
