Not to beat this into the ground, but Barbara Ehrenreich wrote a book which I believe is titled HEARTS OF MEN, which argues at length that the Beats criticized family institutions (using both theory and practice) in a way that exempts themselves from responsibility of helping raise children, etc., without criticizing the inequalities of power in the usual family. I must admit I only glanced at the book, so if anyone has corrections I'd appreciated them. in pen-l solidarity, Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] Econ.
