...WHILE THERE are great areas of overlap between Mumford's cause and the New Left's, there are important differences as well. To a large degree they are differences of style and experience, but precisely for that reason they are revealing of Mumford himself. Mumford is highly critical of the young for their arrogance in ignoring history. The impatience of the young, he feels, is just another manifestation of push-button mentality, which expects rewards in seconds. "Change," says Mumford, "takes experiment. It can't come overnight. This is the one thing I'm against." History teaches this lesson...
Performers were carefully scheduled on each stage so as not to overlap, by catering to people's different tastes (thus Steppenwolf on one stage while Joni Mitchell was playing at the other, Ian and Sylvia in the meadow while Iron Butterfly played the grandstand) though even with diligent shuttling from stage to stage I inevitably missed some performances. This kind of sensible planning on the part of the Festival organizers marked most aspects of the three day show. Facilities were thoughtfully and adequately provided: free parking, food stalls, seating, elaborate and powerful sound systems. Not to mention the whimsical diversions...
Proper Credit. Blough sought to improve U.S. Steel's fortunes largely by paring its work force, consolidating its sprawling divisions and ending a costly overlap of sales offices.

It has also abandoned its lofty refusal to cut prices to meet foreign competition...
...appeal, is a functional conservative concerned with such specific issues as segregation and states' rights (but not economy in government; for a Southern Governor, Wallace was a big spender). While the Goldwaters and the Buckleys disdain Wallace and accept the pragmatism of Richard Nixon, there is a large overlap among those who knew in their hearts that Barry was right and those who stand up for America with George. Government has grown so large and social change has been so swift and pervasive that the temptation is to ignore the complex reasons...
What Davies finally suggests is the Beatles' isolation and boredom. Ringo is the most content, living a suburban, intensely domestic life in a house full of gadgets, including six TV sets. Paul roams restlessly through the youthful London underground, where artists and the remaining hippies overlap. George Harrison searched desperately for his own thing, seems to have found it briefly in Indian music and mysticism. Since Davies' book went into type John has left his wife and son for the Japanese artist Yoko Ono, and has put his suburban house up for sale. John trims away friends, will...
