WRKO-FM sounds like an ideal station, but alas, its system too, has flaws. Each song's impact is weakened by its propinquity to the next. Disc jockey chatter, for all its inanity, is a background that sets up each song. A more significant quibble is WRKO's small playlist. It sticks with already established hits, devoting almost half its air time to the Top 10, which often for instance this week is a collection of the songs one least wants to hear...
Under the Canopy. In the long view, the conference is likely to have less impact on what happens in Viet Nam than in the whole of Asia. Johnson's constant refrain was Asia's growing sense of regional pride. "It's like what Baltimore got from winning the World Series," he said at one point. While that must have baffled any Asian leaders who heard it, they were clearly gratified by his pledge that the U.S. was committed to help the area not as a dominant power but as a partner within a new comity of nations...
...speak warily of voter apathy, a record off-year turnout of 56 million-30 million Democrats, 26 million Republicans-is expected. The election stands in marked contrast with 1964, when the Goldwater candidacy distorted traditional voting patterns and moved 4,000,000 G.O.P. voters into the Democratic column. The impact of the Kennedy assassination, important in the 1964 vote, will have little or no effect this time around...
...impact of the backlash has been apparent in recent straw polls taken by the Chicago Sun Times. The brunt of it, however, will probably be shouldered by Senator Douglas -- and it may defeat him -- rather than Stevenson. Even in Mayor Daley's own 11th Ward, where Douglas has proviously rolled up 78 per cent of the vote, he polled only 51 per cent. In the same poll, however, Stevenson got 68 per cent. In general Stevenson holds a comfortable 10 per cent margin over Howe while Douglas trails Percy by about 15 per cent. Stevenson will win; the only question...
Simulated Solar Wind. To test his theory, Sun borrowed samples of meteorites believed to be similar to those on the moon. Using liquid nitrogen, he cooled them to-320°F. and bombarded them with high-energy electrons that simulated the impact of solar-wind protons for a 14-day period. No glow was produced. When Sun removed the liquid nitrogen and rapidly heated the samples, however, they began to give off vivid and pulsating light. The Westinghouse physicist is now working on further laboratory tests to support his theory. He believes that it can also be confirmed by careful...
