Friday night was the first HRO concert I've gone to in about a year. I was looking forward to hearing the group again, especially with the program they had prepared. But the concert was oddly disappointing. The orchestra is better than it has been in the past, more sure of itself technically, and more capable of dynamic contrast. But there was something missing--a spark of enthusiasm, a sense of excitement...
...serape belt," Mexican-Americans are feeling strapped. Federal poverty projects in the Negro neighborhoods of Los Angeles outnumber by 3 to 1 those for Mexican-Americans. From 1950 to 1960, the Mexican-American high school dropout rate held steady at 75%, while the Negro was making significant strides forward in education. More than a third of the nation's Mexican-American families (most of them in Texas) live below the poverty line of $3,000 a year, while their birth rate, sustained by Catholic-inspired resistance to contraception, is soaring far higher than that of any other group. Though...
...rebuttal a minority of commission members (estimated to number around 15) insisted, quoting Pope Pius XI: "No reason, however grave, may be put forward by which anything intrinsically against nature may become conformable to nature and morally good." Carried to its logical conclusion, say some critics, such a doctrine might even support Jehovah's Witnesses who refuse to receive blood transfusions.

Apologetic Approach. The longies have been pushed forward by a spritely $10 million campaign launched for Phillip Morris' Benson & Hedges by the hot new advertising agency, Wells, Rich, Greene. Adopting the apologetic approach to advertising that worked so well for Volkswagen and Avis Rent A Car, Benson & Hedges ads point out the difficulties of smoking a 100-mm. cigarette. They burn beards, get crushed in cigarette cases, smashed in elevator doors, mashed against closed car windows, and one ad warns: "Please hold this magazine a little further away if you're smoking Benson & Hedges 100s." On the other...
...colors on the unsized, white canvas produce a veil-like form whose colors, although rich and sensuous, seem to mystically dematerialize like shifting, almost gaseous, vapors into the texture of the canvas. One wash of color is applied over another, but the transparency allows all the layers to come forward simultaneously. The visual effect is breathtakingly beautiful and bewildering at the same time. As the viewer becomes involved with a specific passage, he feels that he is on the verge of perceiving the relationships of colors as configurations in space. Yet a concrete sense of space always eludes...
