...Soph Standing represented almost unprecedented strength of disagreement; politicking before meetings usually brings near-universal agreement or acquies cence, whatever is on the agenda. A recent questionnaire of Masoers, Senior Tutors, and CEP members indicated that not one quarter but thirteen out of seventeen favored either substantial revision or outright abolition of the program...
...played them back while Tudor and friend banged on. After more such pyrotechnics, Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire sounded almost romantic. At concert's end Keleman waited nervously for the commissar's reaction. Schoenberg, said Vucinic, was merely a "hybrid"-a musical petit bourgeois. "I prefer the outright revolutionary techniques," Keleman sighed with relief. Before the festival ended, the surprising official response had started the hottest rumor in the Yugoslav musical world: the Communist Party itself may commission an electronic work to celebrate the opening of the next Yugoslav party congress...
...Ashtrays. The Murchisons (pronounced Murr-kiss-son) made no attempt to match Kirby in outright purchases of Alleghany shares; when the showdown vote came, they controlled only 2,800,000 shares v.

As the play moves forward by way of diatribe, mimicry, mockery, profanity, it variously depicts Negroes' ideas of whites (and Negroes' ideas of white ideas of Negroes), whites' ideas of Negroes (and whites...
...Latin American nation has received more U.S. aid than Bolivia, and few have less to show for it. Since 1952, the U.S. has pumped $169,600,000 into Bolivia, either in technical assistance or outright grants. Yet Bolivia's economy is still near bankruptcy, and its 3,500,000 ill-housed, ill-fed people are never far from revolt. The U.S. is now taking a new look at its aid program in hopes of finding a way to straighten out this discouraging situation...
