...major and complex artists (e.g., that Bob Dylan has always been at heart a rock and roll singer who started out in folk merely because there were no other options open to him in his early years) to finicky discoveries about the minutest details (e.g., that the Sergeant Pepper concept of a album as an integrated whole "can be traced back to the end of Between the Buttons"). And, remarkably, these multifarious insights are not stranded and left to fend for themselves in a mass of prose but, in Williams' writings, are usually integrated into a solid conceptual framework...
...danger of this kind of elaborate complexity is, of course, that a song might get bogged down under the sheer weight of all its minute structuring, which makes it dead and therefore a bad rock song. Just then Williams' second theoretical concept, that of kinetics, comes along to clarify and expand the meaning of the discussion. Because kinetics stands for the ability to keep the listener "caught up in the motion of the songs," an ability that very few rock groups, such as the Who, possess. Again Williams gives carefully chosen examples of how exactly and Airplane manipulates tension, rhythm...
Black students did not enter Hunt Hall to negate the concept of "academic freedom." Their intention was rather to suggest to the University that such a blatant insult to their integrity as the proposed course would cause a breakdown in the relationship between black students and the University; to further suggest that academic freedom could not be used as a pretext for degrading the black community at Harvard or across the U.S. When 109 supposedly intelligent men can condone the perpetration of such an obvious insult, under the guise of "academic freedom," then it is time to seriously question...
SABMIS (seabased ABM Spartan-or Sprint-type weapons): a concept, now in an early phase of study, that involves mounting defensive missiles on surface vessels so as to intercept enemy warheads before the landbased defensive system could reach them. Among its advantages is the possibility of destroying an enemy missile before it could scatter a number of separate warheads and decoys...
...logic here is simple and very much in the vein of Cronbach's rebuttal to the Jensen paper, i.e., if you want black kids to think like white kids, imprint this type of thinking habit early (5 days to 2 years of age) with simple thinking, concept cluster tasks. White tutors can do this in the homes or at drop-in centers or white teachers can enable black parents to learn...
