...unrelenting litany of problems remained-the war, inflation, unemployment, pollution. Ahead loomed a somewhat strange presidential election that might wedge the old divisions wider than ever. Yet for the moment, much of America was suspended in an August pause. Compared with the national mood a year ago-a weary funk of economic uncertainty-there was now even a sense of a new summer sweetness, an ease, or apathy, and in some parts of the country a distinct savor of contentment...

...kick up my heels--Go all night and never slow down--Yes, I love how it feels." Three more songs were played in rapid succession: "It's a Good Mornin'," "Railroad Days," and "Old Forgiver," gone almost before they could sink in. "It's a Good Mornin" is country funk, the hard core of the Poco music, "Railroad Days" and "Old Forgiver" belong to new guitarist Paul Cotton, who replaced tour-weary Jim Messina about a year ago. Cotton's work is more rock 'n' roll musically than Furay's, and his lyrics lean towards introspection...

...funk. But all its drive is imagistic, rather than formal: the debate between form and content, a dead issue for years in Manhattan, still goes on in Chicago. Leon Golub, 49, who is in some ways a father figure to Chicago artists, is entirely preoccupied with the human body. His male nudes, gigantic as marble warriors from a ruined Hellenistic pediment, are quite unclassical despite their constant references to antiquity. The surfaces of trunk and limb are gouged, broken and battered: the act of painting the human image becomes an assault. Rhetorical defects plague his work. But its aim-which...

...zoot-suited, claw-wagging crow shuffling to a Harlem bugaloo. It's three Mickey Mice breaking into cheers as USAF jets strafe New York City. It's stoned eagle at a Village dope party, and a mare raped by a sadistic leftist rabbit. It's pure unadulterated funk, and, aside from riots in the street--I can't think of much that suits the present moment better...

These questions are at the core of a new book, President Nixon and the Press (Funk & Wagnalls; $6.95). Author James Keogh, 55, a journalist and Nixon watcher of rich experience, wrote This Is Nixon in 1956. He was TIME'S executive editor before joining the Nixon campaign in 1968 and then for two years he was the White House assistant in charge of the research and writing staff. Afforded an excellent view of both sides of the fence, Keogh has written what amounts to the latest installment of the President's brief in the argument. In fact...
