...call in case the column came under attack. When the options for evacuation were discussed in the White House, General George Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, explained that a civilian-style helicopter ferry would be impossible; any helicopter evacuation would have to be a fullblown military undertaking−and that would be provocative...
...Watergate-related story blazoned across the front page. But now the drumbeat of daily Watergate headlines has died away to a faint, uninsistent thump. Suddenly, there is no "news." Or, to put the matter another way, all the news that fits is in print. Local gripes now receive fullblown front-page treatment. Crime makes a comeback.

That they are, But they're also a vehicle for Ray Davies' mad genius. I admire Davies (belatedly I'll admit) for his flagrant Englishnees and an equally flagrant aura of working class. (Davies is from London's Muswell Hill district). I admire his adamant refusal to betray those roots. He and his bend of vagrants rock on. God Save the Kinks...
