...repeated the N.L.F.'s rather vague plan for a temporary coalition government composed of "each social class" in South Viet Nam and each distinct political tendency. During the interim before elections, Tho told Schecter, no party should be "in a position to exert pressure on the population and oblige it to adopt a given political regime." For what it is worth, Tho promised to free political prisoners, presumably meaning pacifists jailed by the present Saigon regime, and to "forbid" terrorism or acts of revenge against those who had joined either side. Just how Tho-or anyone else-would guarantee...
...close over a nipple. The reflex-driven gropings by which he learns to recognize the nipple and distinguish it from a rattle, as Piaget sees it, are a first use of trial-and-error logic. Piaget considers this learning process of infancy one phase in the first of four distinct but sometimes overlapping stages. The other stages: ages two to seven, seven to eleven, and eleven...
With tongue in cheek, Christianity Today noted the renascence of a fine old Puritan practice.

Czech Conductor Karel Ančerl, now music director of the Toronto Symphony, recalls the first time he saw Janáček: "I was returning home from a party with a few friends. A full moon...
...amuses himself by playing his guitar with a violin bow and follows this with the most involved solo of the album. After this the song dutifully falls apart, the lover, eyeless in Gaza, presumably reduced to tatters. "How Many More Times" is unduplicable for sustained, accumulating force throughout four distinct sections. Plant uses his "soaring eagle heartbroken blues" voice, bringing the song to an arresting climax with a long glissando on the word "gun," the latter instrument being both an expression of the lover's libidinal anguish and his rather desperate solution to Rosy's polygamous impertinence...
