...very disappointed in your coverage of the Marvin Kalb interview with Democratic Presidential candidate Bruce Babbitt. An hour of political dialogue about important public policy issues such as the merits of a progressive national consumption tax, universal needs testing, and a more democratic workplace was completely ignored.

This has caused more than a little resentment on Broadway, not least against Lloyd Webber himself, since it sometimes seems that half the musicals running at any one time are his.

It was the sound that they inhabited -- Steppenwolf, Country Joe and the Fish, the Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles going into their White Album phase and, above all, Bob Dylan, still. Dylan's music had a genius of portent: "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind." Back in 1965 he had written, "Something is happening here...
