...sold nearly 150,000 copies in four months, which makes it the hottest classical LP since Van Cliburn's 1958 version of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto. The album's widespread appeal bears out what Composer John Eaton says of Moog: "He has brought electronic music out of the lab and into our lives...
...allow Allen to print and mail out more than 55 million pieces of literature every year. TV and radio technicians stand by to prepare Allen's daily radio broadcasts (58 stations) and weekly television programs (43 stations).

We hear Thruston Morton pathetically suggest that the existence of a standing military-industrial complex with nothing to do but build weapons and use them might influence policy unwisely...
