Oppose Mainly it's too small. Sometimes we make exceptions for historical images, but for 60's, we would expect larger. Most if not all of our B&W FPs are larger; we have a larger portrait of Edgar Allen Poe taken more than 100 years before this shot. On the plus side, it's the only image we have of Kerouac in the article which is kind of surprising. Also I think you've overdone it with the contrast boost - we've lost some shadow detail and it changed the appearance of his hair and shirt, even if it does make the skin more dramatic. The edit also caused or brought out jpeg artifacts in the background.
