Wallace is likely to carry Mississippi and Alabama, may win Louisiana and Georgia as well. Outside those strongholds of the Deepest South, his chief impact may well be to help re-elect Lyndon Johnson by siphoning away Republican votes. Last month in Washington, in fact, Florida's G.O.P. Governor Claude Kirk charged that Wallace was being promoted as a candidate by Democrats close to the President. Kirk's conspiracy theory gained some credence when some of L.B.J.'s operatives quietly encouraged loyal California Democrats last December to promote the former Alabama Governor's drive...
...hovercraft owes its good performance in rough seas to a kind of 7-ft.-high, nylon-and-rubber maxiskirt, which confines the cushion of compressed air below the craft but deflects when it strikes wave tops or other obstacles. To further lessen any impact, the skirt is fringed with rubber fingers that are even more flexible than the main body of the skirt. The 19½-ft. propellers, driven by four 3,400-h.p. Rolls-Royce engines, are mounted on pylons and can be swiveled 30°, enabling them to be used with two huge air rudders in maneuvering...
...Animal. Basically, linguistics is the study of the underlying principles of language. The discipline concerns itself with dissecting the grammar and logic of the world's languages, tracing their shifting patterns and distribution, studying their impact on individuals, groups and institutions. Ultimately, it seeks to explain the ages-old mystery of precisely how and why man developed the unique facility of speech as an expression of thought, which, more than any other activity, separates him from animals...
Most here consider the long-range future of a life in Canada with about that much seriousness. The majority have not been here long enough to weigh the full impact of living in a foreign city, cut off from the social fabric of America. The only other major expatriate movement that this country has witnessed began in the twenties with Malcolm Cowley and friends singing "Hello Central, Give Me No-Man's Land" on the boat to Europe. They were back two years later no happier about the state of affairs in America but unable to live away from...
...Cantata Singers are a good example of how a small, well-trained chorus can have fuller body and greater impact than one larger but less precisely controlled. Like all human performers, the group had its moments of weakness: sloppy ensemble, faulty intonation, a tendency (especially among the men) to expend force at the beginning of a phrase and then be unable to carry it through to the end. But Bach's voice writing, though beautiful, is quite impossible to perform, and the group has to be admired for its accomplishment. The performance was neither too fussily "authentic" nor embarrassingly emotive...
