WEST (Epic). West spent eight months rehearsing in a deserted theater in Crockett, Calif., before coming up with this album. The music they found there is warm, lyric and natural. Its sound is country-western flavored strongly with folk. Michael Stewart, the vocal backbone of the group, has written a fast-fingered guitar interview with Donald Duck that takes a poke at the Disney menagerie and a swing at President Johnson to boot: "Goofy has so much to say, he changed his place with L.B.J." Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, the album's lead cut, shows what...

More and more, the clash is over fundamental value systems rather than public policy. The New Conservatism has not sprung full-blown from one social-economic group in 1968.

The men, on duty but obviously drunk, were immediately suspended from the force and charged with a felony...
...Convincer. In the group's hierarchy, Newton is flanked by his minister of information, Eldridge Cleaver, the ex-convict author of Soul on Ice (TIME, April 5), who is the presidential candidate of the multiracial Peace and Freedom Party. The code of the Panthers is a ten-point manifesto, written by Newton in 1966, that calls for complete black control of the businesses, police and courts in Negro areas. Newton also demands freedom for all Negroes in prison and draft exemption for Negroes. Last week Herman B. Ferguson, who is under indictment for a conspiracy to assassinate moderate Negro...
