...HICKS, MARIA MULDAUR--At press time, it was still impossible to tell whether the Hot Licks had given their Hicks up, or if Dan Hicks had simply gotten in his last licks. In either case, Hicks, sans Licks, will appear Sunday night at Symphony Hall, probably playing the same undefinable mish-mash of rock, jug-band, and jazz-type numbers he played with his group.

Indeed, the Panthers have gotten more heat from their own brethren than from the police. Bill McWilliams, owner of three gay bars, says, for example, that the patrons of his Boot Camp bar can take good care of themselves. Moreover, many of the city's affluent gays do not like the idea of hard-eyed homosexual toughs causing commotion in the streets. But Ray insists that his Draconian measures...
