...Humphrey: "As President, I would stop the bombing as an acceptable risk for peace because I believe it could lead to success in the negotiations and thereby shorten the war." The Vice President added: "In weighing that risk, and before taking action, I would place key importance on evidence-direct or indirect-by word or deed-of Communist willingness to restore the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Viet Nam.

Still, what Ruggles has produced is powerful, direct, dense, thoroughly modern American music. In the 1920s and 1930s, when he wrote most of it, he was considered to be every bit as original and daring as his composer pals Edgar Varèse (whom he always called "Goofy") and "Charlie" Ives.

When the committee eventually makes its recommendations, the mayor will still have a hard time pushing them through Boston's obstinate School Committee. The mayor's only direct lever in school affairs is his power to veto increases in the School budget each year. That is hardly a sufficient weapon to convince the School Committee to approve broad-reaching reforms. The mayor is counting therefore on using indirect political pressure on the Committee. Any proposal, of course, will have his authority behind it. It will also be backed by the authority of the six-man committee--a group whose members...
