BEER AND POLITICS were the hallmarks of 1916 Graham B. Blame I went to St. Louis and Chicago for the party conventions, and The Crimson poll showed Harvard 1940 to 662 for Charles Evans Hughes over Wilson. Editorial neutrality was bravely preserved until the election. The next day, a headline announced...
...INEVITABLE DOOM of American musical life has been discussed with morbid relish by almost everyone concerned for years now. Composers, still suffering from the complications of the turn-of-the century stylistic crisis, lament the unwillingness of audience and orchestras to accept unfamiliar music. Conductors skillfully transfer the blame from orchestras to players, whose reticence and unionization undermine effective rehearsal of the unknown; but they, too, indict reactionary audiences and patrons.

An income tax increase is unlikely this year, but it is a real possibility for 1974. Nixon could call for a raise -and blame Congress-if Congress mandates greater spending than he wants, the courts rule that he cannot impound the funds and the economy becomes so strong that big budget deficits would be inflationary...
