Locked out last August by Met General Manager Rudolf Bing-because the Met did not want to begin rehearsals until contracts had been signed with the unions (TIME, Sept. 26)-the artists had proved angrier and more obdurate than anyone had thought possible. After the Met's lawyer temporarily blocked their unemployment compensation with a legal technicality, they refused Ring's first (and not notably generous) pay offer. As, little by little, he went up, they began holding out not merely for a better contract, but also for back pay to cover the rapidly mounting number of lost...
...SLIDE sequence follows. The dancers grow angrier, more passionate. The music begins to sound like the fire of machine gun bullets, interspersed with air raid sirens. The slides and music literally assault your senses, but they assault the dancers as well; at the end of the movement, when the dancers stretch their agonized hands high in the air, their shadows projected 20 feet high on the screen behind them, they are not groping only for themselves...
...characters are archly precious, their story willfully disjointed in the telling. Elegantly bored, they spend much of their time lounging in bed or bars, or leafing through the works of Marx, Lenin and Stalin in the public library to find pages mutilated or subversive notations made by angrier, cruder objectors to the System.

...loosening of morals, the racial conflict and the general air of permissiveness. Most of those complaints have welled up in the acrimonious debate in the Senate over Lyndon Johnson's nomination of Abe Fortas to become the nation's 15th Chief Justice. Last week the argument grew angrier, and opposition to Fortas stiffened. As the fight moved toward a climax within the next two weeks, it seemed likely to increase the divisiveness in the land and become an important campaign issue...
