...Harvard Jazz Band will perform several of Mingus's own arrangements, including his ambitious "Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife..." and his haunting tribute to saxophonist Lester Young, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat." Also featured will be new arrangements of "Sue's Changes" and the rarely performed "Fables of Faubus," as well as a Mingus medley called "Amigus Amingus."

Later in 1970, he knocked off the in cumbent Governor Winthrop Rockefeller to take over the statehouse and, finally, Senator J. William Fulbright last year. Breezy, charming and easygoing, his winning ways make him a highly effective campaigner. A lawyer and farmer who tags himself a populist, Bumpers is liberal on such issues as expanded Medicare and race relations...
