Patchen backed by jazz is something else. The jazzmen, led by Allyn Ferguson (who wrote the note on the jacket and was considerate enough to quote himself at one point), seem competent enough, but the effect of the two working on each other destroys more than it gives. Words blot out the music, and, as they say, vice versa. Patchen claims to have thought up jazz and poetry, love and marriage. Kenneth Rexroth, across the street and down the hill, claims the same thing. They both would do well to forget the unhappy, er, nuptuals...

The junta promised to try them on charges of torturing or ill-treating prisoners, with special attention to a police inspector-general accused of presiding over electric shock and beating sessions in a formal dinner jacket. Cost of freedom in the week's casualties: 300 killed, more than 1,000 wounded...
...eating breakfast with Defense Secretary Neil McElroy and again with Army Secretary Wilber Brucker, holding seven-hour committee sessions, making television films for a Texas network, striding down a corridor tossing off orders to two pretty secretaries who took notes as they scurried after him, slipping into a dinner jacket for a banquet, speaking to the Women's National Press Club and to 1,200 steelworkers in a snowstorm outside the Capitol.

...part of the spine so that it could not bend again. To allow time for the grafts to fuse solidly. Margie must spend at least six months in the rigid cast, though she can now enjoy the luxury of having her head free. Then there will be a "holding jacket," reaching only to the hips, for four months; most of that time Margie, though at home, will still be lying in bed. After that, two more weeks in the hospital should see her up and about, walking straight in special shoes, with no more restraint than a snug jacket. Total...
...banded sheath, slip into a fur-topped evening dress, and the last thing at night clean her teeth with a fur-trimmed toothbrush and climb into her fur-trimmed pajamas. Furriers also are busily promoting complete fur costumes. Notable this season: a black Russian broadtail skirt and matching jacket worn by Zsa Zsa Gabor and a broadtail curve-hugging evening dress with a swallowtail train worn by Marlene Dietrich, both designed by Maximilian. Other creations: a $15,000 sable-lined raincoat, a $65,000 sable greatcoat, and a $5,000 Fredrica-designed strapless mink sheath...
