...have a great act, and are very weird people. The group has a drummer, a bass guitar, lead guitar, and a singer, but they produce a complex, brutal, hard sound. People go to their concerts to try to see how they make all those noises with so few instruments. Its hard to describe, but the breaks in their sound awfully formless and abstract, but deep down they consist of just a hard drum beat, a loud bass, and Townshend's amazing chorded rhythm or lead guitar.

But when Nixon last week named Henry Cabot Lodge, his 1960 running mate, to be chief U.S. negotiator in Paris, it seemed to many that the new Administration was at last tipping its hand. Lodge, who twice served as U.S. Ambassador to Saigon, was the instrument of American power in Viet Nam at crucial moments of the war.

...National Transportation Safety Board, no fewer than six involve liners that crashed on approach to an airport. That is a considerably higher figure than the world wide incidence rate of 47%, and it has caused fresh alarm on the part of air safety experts about the adequacy of instrument-landing equipment at U.S. airports.

...past month, two Allegheny Airline Convair 580 turboprops crashed at the Bradford Regional Airport in northern Pennsylvania. Both were approaching the field in similar snowstorms, using the VOR-DME instrument technique. At FAA urging, Allegheny has just raised the level of minimal weather conditions for VOR-DME approaches to a ceiling of 1,000 ft. and visibility of three miles. As in the other approach cases, the board has not yet established a direct connection between the crash and the instrument system either aboard the plane or on the ground. However, at week's end, the Air Line Pilots...
