Whatever the President does in California may turn out to be irrelevant to Ehrlichman's future. If he were indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington before he went to trial in California, which is a distinct possibility, then the California charges against him would probably be dropped. That, presumably, would also be the case if Ehrlichman pleaded guilty to one federal charge in return for testifying against the President and former White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman. At the moment, there is no sign of a rift be tween Nixon and Ehrlichman. Yet ultimately, Ehrlichman...
...This year though, the state will be a focal point for political analysts, as its own November elections promise to be the most significant in the recent history of New Hampshire.

And as his Sanders Theater performance developed some of those resources recurred. Much of Corea's music has a distinct Spanish influence. Nothing tangible, mind you, it's more a question of "feel." My notes on this show are full of references to "latin style" riffs or themes. A new tune, called "Sometime Ago" moved through several varied themes and each had a distinctly Spanish/Latin/South American tint. The first band...
