...dropping, he concluded that there was unrest and a yearning for strong leadership but also an undercurrent of sympathy for the President. Smith Hempstone covered the Middle East war with lyrical intensity, highlighting particularly the plight of the Arab victims. Political Writer Paul Hope showed a keen eye for detail as he followed George Romney around New Hampshire and found some surprising pockets of support for the governor...
...Turkey. Even with reduced scoring at the Chapel Hill performance, Brubeck's oratorio attested the composer's solid training as a serious musician, mostly under the eye of the French master Darius Milhaud at Mills College in Oakland, Calif. In twelve extensive, complex vocal movements, it traces a series of meditations on the universality of faith, with textual fragments drawn by Brubeck and his wife lola from the Gospels and Psalms.

Finally, it slowly rose to the surface, its mission accomplished and its curiosity temporarily satisfied...
...hour, 225,000-mile journey last week. The craft obediently braked from 6,000 m.p.h. to less than 7 m.p.h., fell freely for the final 13 feet, narrowly missed a field of jagged boulders and landed two miles from its designated bull's-eye. Back in Pasadena, there were cheers and handshakes all around...
