"I see no end to progress so long as there is freedom for every voice to be heard," he said. Distantly heard, as he spoke, w,ere the chants of 100 radical students. Closely watched by police, they were picketing outside the stadium, carrying a Viet Cong flag and shouting, "Hey, hey, U.S.A., how many kids did you kill today?"

Appropriately enough, the vast range of compositions are played on ancient and venerable Swiss instruments: the oldest resides in the church of Notre-Dame-de-Val-ere in Sion, Switzerland, and was built around 1390. The elegant simplicity of old organ music underscores the fallacy that complications must mean progress...
