Among "non-revolutionary" songs there are--to make further categorical (timidly, pun intended) distinctions--"good" songs, "bad" songs, and "arresting" songs. Once, the Beatles had a near-monopoly on good and arresting songs--this is no longer true. Leaving aside such heavyweights as the Rolling Stones and the Who, even lesser luminaries like Donovan, the Kinks, and Traffic have produced their share of Beatle-quality rock-and-roll. This being so, one is proportionately less impressed with the Beatles as the quantity of their quality work declines. When, out of 30 songs that are clearly not setting new standards...
...when such a relationship would again serve the cause of peace, then it can be re-established. But right now, when the over-expansion of the American military machine has become perhaps the greatest threat of all, the time has come to make it clear that Harvard is no longer interested in being used in a one-sided deal with the military establishment.

When Jahre tied up his factory ship Kosmos IV, it marked the end of an enterprise that made millionaires out of owners and national heroes...
...opposite, and so the infernal regions have been illustrated in a highly spirited fashion. The delineators of heaven, on the other hand, have found the place safe but dreary. The horrendous Hieronymus Bosch leads the field as a demonic painter; his surrealism still makes an indelible if no longer credible impression. The plates are plentiful, inclining in the heavenly to cool greens and blues, and in the infernal nightmares to somewhat hotter tones. Critic Hughes, who is also a poet, has written the text, which stands in its own right as a guided tour of the history and topography...
