...festival is music filling the air or competing with fireworks. Manhattan's Central Park was packed with almost a quarter of a million people last week as the New York Philharmonic exploded into John Philip Sousa and giant skyrockets burst above the band shell.

Initially Church was accused of having "almost always opposed a strong national defense." The TV spot was taped in front of an empty ICBM silo, implying that Church's attitude say anything negative about Frank Church. We'll talk about all the negative stuff." And in Idaho, where air time is cheap, N.C.P.A.C. will talk about its view of Church's record over and over. One radio spot...
