...denounced student demonstrators as "the new barbarians"; when swarms of demonstrators tried to "shut down" Washington last May Day, he approved the massive police roundups as a form of "qualified martial law." He also argued that the Government had a perfect right to engage in surveillance of any citizen, adding that "selfdiscipline on the part of the Executive Branch will provide an answer to virtually all of the legitimate complaints against excesses of information gathering." He agreed entirely with those who thought the Warren court had been too indulgent toward suspected criminals...
...tear gas and broke classroom doors and windows in pursuit of fleeing students. In all, 1,900 students were packed off to jail; all but 92 "hardcore radicals" were released the same day. At the same time, President Chung Hee Park invoked garrison decree-a step just short of martial law-and shut down ten universities indefinitely...
Lieder-singing tenors often find the transition to early music difficult, but Charles Bressler is an exception. In the second part of Acis he supplied both magnificent solo technique (best in his martial "Love sounds th'alarm" aria) and at other times a capacity for blending in with the chorus.

Singing Galatea's role, too often she allowed superfluous dramatic gestures to interfere with the music. She does possess an exceptional grace of execution, proving again her mastery...

Eckhardt, who went into the trial with the record of having unsuccessfully prosecuted two previous Viet Nam atrocity cases. The captain's lawyer, moreover, was the flamboyant Boston attorney F. Lee Bailey, with his vast repertory...
...jaunty, talking in Army argot ("40 mike mikies," "four deuces," "BMNT") for the benefit of the five battle-tested jurors, Medina denied that he had been on the scene of the massacre. He also denied that he had told his men, as Galley had claimed during his own court-martial, to kill everything, including women and children; he said he had merely told them to "use common sense." Medina admitted to killing the woman in the paddyfield, but claimed that he fired instinctively when he saw her move...
