...Psychologist Robert D. Meade of Western Washington State College. "It is the male in all nature, you know, who spreads his gorgeous tail feathers and erects his ruff for the inconspicuous little brown mate." Other speculation holds that the trend represents a concerted male effort, led by youth, to blur the lines distinguishing the two sexes. This area of thought suggests that the day of the caveman, whose present-day counterpart paraded his virility with such readily identifiable characteristics as the Prussian haircut, is in decline; the day of the womanly man who burns his draft card and lets...
...likely to blur Warhol's image as the Zanuck of the nonmovie. The sound track, regrettably, is as clear as a hi-fi record, and the film is as much in focus as the average overground flick. After wobbling his camera in 60 or so pictures, demonstrating that film making is all in a flick of the wrist, could it be that, in his cinematic technique, Andy is finally going straight...

But widely varying statutes blur distinctions: some misdemeanors carry longer sentences than some felonies-up to three years in Arkansas, for example. While $99 thefts are often misdemeanors, $100 thefts are felonies...
...clatter and barely audible chatter about blowin' their minds. White Rabbit ("One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small") is an eerie echo of Lewis Carroll's Alice, that mop-haired, pioneering freak-out and her oldtimey, mind-blowing Wonderland. The Airplane likes to blur and disconnect its musical phrases, creating the aural equivalent of double vision...

Dewey Daane, 48, a Harvard-trained former Treasury aide, likes to call himself a "neo-Keynesian swinger." His was the key vote in the board's 4-3 decision to raise the discount rate-the interest that the Fed charges member banks for borrowing-from 4% to its present 41% in December 1965. George Mitchell, 63, onetime director of finance...
