...pilot fish" that, as the North Vietnamese know by now, often precede the B-52s: EB-66 Destroyers and EA-6B Intruders, whose bulges, pods and blisters house those gadgets designed to confuse ground radar, as well as needle-nosed F-105 "wild weasels," whose special radiation-seeking missiles lock onto and streak toward active enemy radar installations. Then, after the pilot fish, came the sharks: 17 B-52s. The B-52s dropped their 30-ton bomb loads into the darkness over Haiphong from 30,000 feet. The explosions destroyed a petroleum tank farm near the Haiphong harbor quay, provoking...
With each future contest, the political equations will change and the pressures increase. It is now highly likely that after all the bloodshed of the primaries, no one will go to Miami Beach with a lock on the nomination. If so, it will be a fascinating week in July. A deadlock would probably eliminate McGovern as too leftward and experimental, even though that might provoke a fourth-party rebellion.

But what he chiefly presented to the voters was Walker the man -straight-shooting, indignant, a mite self-righteous. He would lock eyes with his audience and demand: "Aren't you fed up with race-track and shoe-box politics?" It was an allusion to scandals that have embarrassed the Daley machine. Voters apparently were too mesmerized to remember the Walker Report or whether they liked it. They liked Walker because...
...then producing tiny, almost imperceptible grades of hue and intensity from one block to the next. The result is "a constant movement across the painting, and up and down. There isn't one color that remains stable; I don't want viewers to be able to lock into a basic color and say, for certain, that this or that painting is red or blue." In works like Sapphire, 1971, the fluttering accumulation of yellow, red and purple across the grid is so eye-fooling that, after a while, analysis stops; instead, one submits to the pressure of light...
