LeRoi Jones has a beard, a gigantic grievance collection, and a notion that he is the Jonathan Swift of the Ne gro revolution. But Swift's excremental visions were elaborated by his intellect; Jones's explosive expressions proceed from a simpler impulse. In The Toilet, his most effective play, the action transpires in a latrine. And in this book, described on the dust jacket as an autobiography, he announces aggressively: "This thing, if you read it, will jam your face in my -." It will indeed. On almost every page, Author Jones, who is now 31 years old, makes...
...celebrations. He celebrated always the fundamental experiences: birth, copulation and death. And in his greatest lines he entered the mystery of existence itself and evoked the ecstasy of dissolution in the source of life. He was a matriarchal mystic who delivered verse from the tyranny of the intellect and created a modern poetry of the heart...
...federal partnership in education, and the success with which he has helped gather lawmakers, politicians and educators into a purposeful alliance that supports the federal role.

On its Los Alamos payroll of 3,700 people -virtually the entire community labor force-the AEC employs 478 Ph.D.s, 316 people with M.S. degrees and 618 with B.S. degrees.

Los Alamos children have heredity and environment on their side even before they start school. "They seem to be under some compulsion to get their education finished before they fool around with...
...church, for example, in its revivalistic fervor betrays an almost hysterical ambition to prevent disunity among denominations. The people's hearts, once joined in Christian love, might battle successfully the sophistries of European religion (based ominously on both intellect and tyranny); the American churches, once laced with enough committees and missions, might achieve unity even out of extreme diversity; and a united America, presumably, would usher the rest of the world into the millennium. "The event of the century", Miller ironically notes, the revival of 1857-58, "lifted the populace to its most grandiose conception of unity just before slavery...
