Adams's rendering of Stravinsky's Danses Concertantes was his most successful effort of the evening. The neo-classic work struck a balance between the eighteenth Vs.twentieth-century polarity of the program, as well as between Adams's academic training and his modernistic bias. For Adams it was just the right combination of lyricism and efficiency...
Both reactions are a portent of the growing mood of neo-isolationism in the nation. Thus far, the feeling has been most clearly evident on Capitol Hill, where an influential coterie of Senators led by Minority Leader Everett M. Dirksen and Majority Whip Russell Long are pressing for the tightest protection of U.S. goods since the bad old days of the 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariff.* If the protectionist Senators-dubbed "the coalition of retreat" by Hubert Humphrey-were to succeed, they would impose strict quotas on more than 75% of dutiable U.S. imports...
Dirksen and Long are among the strongest supporters that the President has on the war. In many other cases, the neo-isolationist mood may well feed on popular discouragement over Viet Nam. But, as Under Secretary of State Nicholas Katzenbach noted recently at Connecticut's Fairfield University, it would be "a grievous and dangerous delusion to believe all our problems would be solved if we withdrew from Viet Nam, or from Asia, or from anywhere else."

...final product so fresh and captivating is the skill with which Bearden employs his polyglot artistic heritage. His jigsaw Afro-American faces borrow their cubistic profiles from Picasso; yet, as Bearden says, Picasso in turn was inspired by African masks. Bearden also cadges tricks from Bosch, Brueghel and the neo-Dadaists, pasting a tiny sun in a woman's eye as she greets her returning juvenile-delinquent son (pun intended) in The Return of the Prodigal Son. All this intermingling has the effect of broadening his pictures from the specific into the universal. It takes no special knowledge...
Died. Friedrich Gogarten, 80, German theologian; of a heart attack; in Göttingen, Germany. An influential but little-known force in the shifting tide of modern Protestantism, Gogarten first joined Karl Earth in the 1920s in a revolt against liberal Christianity, postulating a neo-orthodoxy that stressed the Biblical imperatives of God's word to man. He retreated into seclusion when the Nazis took and twisted to their own ends his idea of a necessary link between theology and a dynamic' social order. After the war, Gogarten backed Rudolf Bultmann's demythologization of the Bible...
