Yarrow's album and especially his concert hold great promise for the future. If Yarrow continues to evoke such strong audience reactions--without vitiating his political commitments--he may help prove that there's a chord of popular idealism still to be struck and discover a chorus of human concern still to be sung...
...mention of conflict of interest strikes a tender chord with other University vice presidents. "Steve Hall is in charge," Champion said. "He makes recommendations to the Corporation and the Corporation will decide policy. Particularly because I am a renter, I am glad to stay...

Jackie DeShannon appears for the first chorus, and the song becomes a duet. More idealism, but a far cry from the bliss of "Starting a New Life"--because there's a distance involved, a musing quality absent from Morrison's music for years. Flutes...
