Citing St. Augustine's axiom, "War's aim is glorious peace," he noted that in Viet Nam the U.S. is seeking to create "an atmosphere in which resolution of our difficulties can be found off the battlefield." And, before a conservative audience, he urged the Republican Party to become "broader and more creative." He ventured that the old shibboleths of "big government" and the Communist conspiracy have outworn their meaning. Added Brooke: "There is an obligation to propose rather than primarily to oppose...
...Army tunic, orange-and-black-striped pants, drooping mustache, scraggly goatee, fuzzy-wuzzy hairdo. And he is a sound: a wild, free, singing sound that assaults the frontiers of jazz. "My mu sic," says Charles Lloyd, "has shocks. People need shocks to carry them on shocks on a glorious level." Last week the Charles Lloyd Quartet had shocks aplenty for the rockers at Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco's hangar-sized discotheque.

Mao thus hoped to fire with revolutionary fervor the very generation that...
...puns except their own -which, of course, are far superior to those thought up by the troops. Imagine how proud World Writers John Blashill, Robert Jones and Jason McManus felt last April when their story on Kwame Nkrumah's zoo, titled Fangs a Lot, made the magazine -74 glorious lines of puns about what happened "since the day Nkrumah was ostrichized." The day after the story appeared, some of us had second thoughts; but to make matters worse, TIME readers respunded in kine: "Next time some anteloper in Ghana snake in and monkey around with the gnus, lemur know...
