...money, but you've got a car, listen to AM radio. WRKO is the AM leader--music, patter, pimple cream and boutique ads. But they often bend the playlist a little. I heard the full version of Yes's "Roundabout" there, and just today I heard the full five and one-half minutes of Jeff Beck's "Ice Cream Cakes." These occasional album cuts are the result of a successful attempt to undercut WMEX's listernership. MEX, under new management, dropped the album cuts, and picked up the games, commercials and patter for a reason no one's been able...
...difficult to imagine what kind of accommodation either McGovern or Humphrey could make with George Wallace. Neither would bend very far to Wallace on civil rights. Some have suggested that one of them might somehow wind up with Wallace as a running mate, but even in a curious political year, the idea seemed farfetched.

Shorted out by the moisture, some 300 magnets weighing up to twelve tons had to be repaired, resealed or replaced...
...face of the current threat, the Prime Minister's inflexibility must only serve to aggravate the workers (who look upon it as arrogance) and stiffen his supporters in their growing irritation with organized labor. Should Heath snap rather than bend-as did that other obstinate Prime Minister, Anthony Eden, in 1957-who would fill the vacuum? The Tory Party would never accept the fiery, rabble-rousing M.P. Enoch Powell. But his demagogy would exploit basic passions, for he personifies the fears, jealousies and hatreds of many British people to a frightening degree...
