Even before his formal announcement, it was back to nature for Humphrey last week, and his own nature is to dream big dreams, to spin off grand ideas, to talk persuasively in his own behalf. While repeatedly paying homage to Johnson and the "Johnson-Humphrey Administration's record," he is now investing most of his oratorical capital in what lies beyond. He sorely needs to establish a personal identity again. "I am my own man," he told a West Virginia television audience. "I am my own personality with all its limitations...
Martin Luther King's final dream was a mighty Poor People's March on Washington, originally scheduled to begin late last month. The immensely detailed logistical preparations for the march continued despite King's assassination. This week his successor, the Rev.

This particular work is a castrated adaption of A Midsummer Night's Dream liberally interspersed with incidental music in the form of solo songs, ensembles, choruses, and instrumental pieces.
