|  | Radical Chci & Mau-Mauing
Tom Wolfe's fourth volume of devastatingly funny social commentary. First published in 1970, Tom Wolfe's fourth volume of social commentary consists of two devastatingly funny essays, closely related in theme and substance, dealing with political stances and social styles in the status-minded world. In Radical Chic, he focuses primarily on one symbolic event: a gathering of the politically correct at Leonard Bernstein's duplex apartment on Park Avenue to meet a spokesmen of the Black Panther Party. Tom Wolfe re-creates the incongruous scene -- and its astonishing repercussions with high fidelity. Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers follows the white liberal establishment to the other coast, where it encounters the newly emerging art of confrontation, as practiced by San Francisco's militant minorities in response to a highly bureaucratized poverty program.

 | 97 Orchard Street by Arlene Alda, Linda Granfield
This photo-essay explores the lives of immigrants living on the Lower East Side of New York City--a popular haven for families newly arrived in the United States. By exploring the histories of four families who at different times lived in a building located at 97 Orchard Street, the author traces immigrant life in the United States from the 1850s to the 1930s. Also discussed is the history of the Lower East Side, including how it was developed and how it came to be the destination of so many immigrants. While this area of New York City is still home to many immigrant communities, the building at 97 Orchard Street has been preserved as the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. Illustrated with b&w photographs. AUTHOR: Arlene Alda, Linda Granfield
