...TIME'S "Election Extra" in 1964 featured a smiling, victorious Lyndon Baines Johnson in his hour of triumph after amassing the greatest popular vote in U.S. history; that, in awesome contrast to the agonized figure we recently viewed on TV. If ever we need to illustrate an example of America's ingratitude to an elected President (i.e., his achievements in behalf of civil rights, aid to education, the elderly and handicapped, Medicare, urban renewal, social security, conservation, etc.), this should certainly be unparalleled in its savagery...
COPLAND: SYMPHONY FOR ORGAN AND ORCHESTRA (Columbia). Brooklyn-born Aaron Copland was finishing his composition studies in Paris in 1924 when he wrote this big, loose-jointed work, first cousin to a concerto. The organ does not contrast with the orchestra but stirs it up and then masses forces with it. Considered shocking at the time ("If a young man at the age of 23 can write a symphony like that, in five years he will be ready to commit murder!" declared Con ductor Walter Damroseh), the work has never been recorded until now.

...closing days of the Wisconsin primary campaign, Lyndon Johnson's local agents found so few people willing to work for him without pay that they had to hire helpers from employment agencies. By contrast, 3,000 volunteers in Milwaukee alone were out ringing doorbells for Senator Eugene McCarthy...
...what the Yippies are really pointing toward is Chicago. There, come the last week of August, they intend to hold a six-day "Festival of Life" in comic contrast to what they call the Democratic Party's "National Death Convention," which will be running concurrently. The Yippies aim to set up a lakefront tent village in Grant Park, where they can groove on folk songs, rock bands, "guerrilla" theater, body painting and meditation. Through the park they will bear on a blue pillow their very own presidential candidate: Lyndon Pigasus Pig, a ten-week-old black and white porker...
...time wandering around the world making television documentaries. Admittedly, Robert is not a bad television documentary producer, but the horrors of Vietnam are not relevant to the love story that should be the core of the film. One can only assume that these sequences are thrown in as Contrast, but the contrast is too great to have any meaning to the audience. Half the time you are watching a French Flick, and the other half you are watching an Evils of War documentary...
