While Richard Nixon and his men are, of course, instituting new policies in a number of areas, the degree of continuity has been high enough to deny the Democrats much cause for complaint so far. Democratic Senator George Mc-Govern of South Dakota confesses: "I'm pleasantly surprised at what seems to be a combination of prudence and progressive spirit." Congressman Morris Udall of Arizona points out that "after 1964, a lot of people complained that they had elected Johnson and gotten Goldwater's foreign policy. Now we've elected Nixon and, to a large extent...
...confused area is that there are no critical standards by which to judge the music. White rock musicians today have nothing, in Dylan's phrase, to live up to. And the audiences will pay in turn to be insulted (The Mothers), bored (The Ultimate Spinach), assaulted (The Fugs and MC 5), ignored (The Jefferson Airplane and Procol Harum), and urinated upon by a lukewarm assemblage of beligerent flower-cretins. Entertainment is left up to a very few white groups who know how to act onstage, such as the Who, the Stones, the Rascals, and most of the English blues people...
...British Isles; less exacting analysts are willing to throw in Scandinavians, Netherlanders and Germans. At the narrowest, Wasps form a select band of well-heeled, well-descended members of the Eastern Establishment; at the widest, they include Okies and Snopeses, "Holy Rollers" and hillbillies.

Apollo 8's unblemished success and its safe return prompted Air Force Lieut. General Samuel Phillips, the Apollo program director, to announce that Apollo 9 had been scheduled for a Feb. 28 launch date. On that flight, a three-man team headed by Astronaut James Mc-Divitt will orbit the earth and practice rendezvous and docking with the problem-plagued Lunar Module (LM), which has not yet been tested in manned flight...
Musical Guerrillas. The most violent expression of revolutionary rock so far comes from a Detroit quintet called the MC (for Motor City) 5. After months of rumblings about them in the pop underground, they erupted at Manhattan's Fillmore East. Their performance was less revolutionary than revolting. While the band churned out medium-good hard rock, Lead Singer Rob Tyner scattered obscenities, referred to the audience as "fellow animals" and, while singing I Want You Right Now, writhed on the floor in sexual postures. The group also performed John Lee Hooker's Motor City Is Burning, and there...
