...Stewart had his clerks slip him play-by-play bulletins on the National League playoffs between the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Mets as he sat on the bench. One note read: "Kranepool flies to right. Agnew resigns." The Brethren also reports some tantalizing What Ifs. The court came within a vote of, in effect, judicially establishing the Equal Rights Amendment: Stewart held back only because he believed that state legislatures would pass the ERA. Muhammad Ali would have gone to jail as a draft resister had a clerk not persuaded Harlan to read some Black Muslim literature. Convinced...
...twelve founders of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921 and early rival to Mao Tse-tung for the party's leadership; in Toronto. Chairman of the C.C.P.'s First Congress and member of the party's original triumvirate, Chang came to blows with Mao in 1934 over the strategy of the 6,000-mile Long March retreat. Ousted from the party in 1938, Chang left China when the Communists took over...
DIED. Sonia Delaunay, 94, pioneering modernist painter and seminal designer of the art deco look; in Paris. Ukrainian-born Sonia Terk moved to Paris in 1905 and made a splash as an innovative colorist.

There was too much discussion about how all this was rock's reflection of Pop art, happenings and autodestruction, how the demolition was an action critique of material values. But until the destruction came to be expected and then required, all this razing was never phony. Anyone in the audience could tell those instruments were extensions of, even surrogates for, the four blessed, blitzed maniacs in the band. That was not Pop art onstage; it was a gang...
Whether witting or withdrawn, like savings, from some secret zinc-lined stockpile, the honesty of the performance and of the music was armor piercing. "The Who sound came from us playing as a three-piece band and trying to sound like more," Entwistle told TIME's Janice Castro. "I play standard bass, but I combine it with long runs where I take over the lead while Pete bashes out chords." Townshends guitar style?a sort of flywheel progression from rhythmic chords to melody and back again, all performed with whirling arms, splits, slides and high jumps?attracted as much attention...
