...altogether and risk a terrible bloodbath [Aug. 11]. Others (Sherman Cooper and Stuart Symington) want to halt the bombing. They must have forgotten that we have stopped the bombing and fighting at several intervals and with no results. Such thinking only prolongs the war or brings negotiations that favor the enemy...
...Nixon seemed to be going against a gathering party consensus. If it is still far from all-out opposition to the war, it is clearly in favor of keeping all options open. The Republicans, of course, have as yet failed to come up with a cohesive position that offers any reasonable alternative to present policy.

Coordination between the two forces was haphazard, this due to Schmidt's sacrificing clarity of beat in favor of a continuous, feverish intensity of motion. He huffed and he puffed, he grimaced with grief, he smiled with beatific joy. Sometimes he succeeded (usually in fortissimo passages), but most often he was unable to convey any unified conception of this difficult and eccentric master-piece. Of the four vocal solists, Barbara Wallace...
