...backing, and complementary arrangements by Don Sebesky and Eumir Deodato, Wes plucks another musical honor for himself. His double-octave runs and honest, single-note phrases illuminate such tunes as the rockish Wind Song, The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener, Coin' On to Detroit, and convey an especially sweet sadness in Georgia On My Mind...
Compared with the Miami riot, the scene in Convention Hall seemed a little unreal at times. All political conventions, of course, convey a certain air of fantasy.

The very idea of nominating a self-proclaimed "unknown quantity" such as Agnew hardly helped. Neither did the tasteless opulence of Miami Beach or the well-coiffured, well-dressed appearance of the delegates.

Coming Home. "The words," declares Executive Director Whitney M. Young Jr., "have caught the imagination, and they come to convey above all pride and community solidarity-and this is a positive, constructive concept." When Young first bruited his conversion to Black Power at Columbus, Ohio, last month, there were jubilant cheers of "The brother's come home!" from militants who had been ready to shout him down...
