...Band's major flaw throughout the concert was an amateurish negligence about watching the conductor. There is little one can complain about in Walker's conducting; it is to him that much of the music's vigor and sensitivity of phrasing must be attributed.

Important as I take this flaw to be, it is not overwhelming, and Jones' later moments are almost atonement.

In fact, parts of Populorum Progressio had the strident tone of an early 20th century Marxist polemic-which, to some readers, was precisely its flaw...

Recently, an alert South Vietnamese policeman noticed the strong resemblance between the jumbo photos of Be in the Hanoi press and a rather withdrawn Viet Cong prisoner in a corner cell. Astounded to hear of his courageous exploits, Be soon saw the wisdom...
