Nasser did not let guerrilla attacks go unanswered. The Egyptian government suddenly announced that it was "temporarily" refusing use of its powerful transmitter to two guerrilla stations, "The Voice of Asifa [Storm]" and "The Voice of Palestine." In place of commando propaganda broadcasts and coded messages to guerrilla leaders, Cairo radio broadcast recorded music. One of the first songs played: a popular Arab melody called Do Not Forsake Me, Lover. In Syria and Iraq, meanwhile, Soviet diplomats made discreet calls on government officials. The Arab leaders were quietly informed by their Russian visitors that Moscow supports Nasser and a cease...

The Indians were supposedly (according to the white man's textbook) psyched up by their own percussion accompaniment to the war dance. Hitler broadcast Wagner's pulsating nationalistic themes. So now, since Thunderclap Newman is telling us "we gotta get it together because the revolution's here," we should begin to feel that musical high-energy rush bursting through the dam. Singles such as "Seize the Time" and albums such as "The Last Poc?s" are the adrenalin...

...Senators. More than 100 admen joined the organization, including Agency Chiefs Carl Ally, William Bernbach, Laurence Dunst, George Lois and Richard Lord. Top talent worked nights and weekends to produce the ads. Agencies supplied all the materials free, down to the film itself. The $250,000 needed to broadcast the messages came from donations received by McGovern, Hatfield and other Senators after their appearance on NBC last May to seek support in ending the war. Since then the networks have repeatedly refused to sell the Senators additional time for similar programs, contending that their views were well covered in regular...

...first time in America at Miami Beach at a luxury hotel's theatre. It was billed on the marquee as "The Laff Riot of Two Continents." Appallingly, the Loeb's Godot seems to have followed this Miami-Shlock school of drama approach. Everything is played for a laugh: the broadcast techniques of burlesque and vaudeville. Bob Hope-like gag timing, facial mugging, and borsht-belt delivery make for a jolly evening in the theatre. Unfortunately, this has transformed Godot from the blackest and best of our existential absurdist dramas into a Marx Brothers romp...
