...hotel after the gig Rod Stewart is hoarse and happy. "You have to jump around like I do to get the kids jumping too. Look at the other group they just stood there. They were playing too complicated, too static, very difficult to get that off the ground." He turned to Waller "I really like it when you tap on the snare and do the tom-tom at the same time.

...June 7]. I have met many people like Reader Lale. And behind their defense of faceless conformity lies a paralyzing fear. Fear of change. Fear of humor. And fear of disturbing their comfortable, fuzzy thinking. I, too, deplore the self-indulgent hedonism and head-in-the-sand anarchy gaining ground among youth today.

The raids probably helped to prevent the big ground assault that everyone expected. The attack never came, and finally, in late March, the pressure eased. The bothersome question remained of whether Khe Sanh had been a massive diversion to pin down U.S. troops and make it easier for General Giap to attack Vietnamese cities at Tet, or whether...

...stockholders had looked for quite a bit of change from Jay himself. A spare, cigar-smoking salesman, Jay took over an ailing company whose aging management-the three previous chiefs were 67, 68 and 66 when they took over-was losing ground to smaller chains. Jay moved A. & P. into long-term leases in suburban shopping centers and launched a sizable renovation and new construction program; he also tried to cut commodity costs with such facilities as the company's own recently opened, $25 million food-processing center in Horseheads...
