BAD-GUY SPOTTER — Beatnik novelist - poet Lawrence
Lipton, right, demonstrates his "Detector for Undesirable
Habitues" to Susan Durst and Bill Riola in Venice, Calif., West
Coast center of beatdom. Beatnik Lipton cooked up the mad,
mad machine to spot, as he says, "bad guys," from subversives
to teen-age werewolves. The detector was displayed during a
hearing to answer charges that undesirables were sipping
espresso in a local coffee house.
