...student, he was brilliant. He won his B.A. in government in three years, summa cum laude. His doctorate came in 1954. By then he was serving as a consultant to a number of Government agencies, teaching at Harvard and running a group called the Harvard International Seminar, which sponsored student exchange programs.

After this lengthy introduction I move to the delicious business of describing the Miami Pop Festival. Held for three days in late December in a gigantic race-track cum park just outside Miami the Festival unrolled smoothly. It represented in its music a cross-section of the entire rock scene today: folk (Joni Mitchell, Buffy Ste.

Once you've mulled for six or seven seconds over the symbolic significance of the white...
