THIS IS only to say that liberal journalism is beyond all hope. The men who were vaguely upset by Chicago and the rest of 1968, not knowing quite way, have been searching for new forms. Many of them will tell you that more "in-depth analysis" in needed, and perhaps new publications to get the word out. One of these new publications--and there will be more--is The Washington Monthly. The magazine is edited by Charles Peters, formerly a Peace Corps official, and run by a crew you have hard of before: Richard Rovere of the New Yorker, Russell...
With about 10 minutes left, both players re-entered the game only to foul out within minutes. Harvard completely collapsed at this point and the Cornell big men turned the game into a laugher...

Romantic ballads (some not originally in the stage version), a marching ode to love, and production numbers concerned with psychedelic religions and swank night clubs simply do not mesh with the picture's original motif. Luckily, most of these songs are splendid in themselves--but the ultimate effect is one of uneasiness...
