...wonderful article concerning the plight of the left-handed person [Jan. 10]. A year ago several friends and I came to the same realization. The result was the formation of the L.A.W. Society: Left-Handers Against the World. We would like to mention two other discriminatory practices perpetrated on left-handed students. One is the curse of the spiral notebook, which is bound on the left side. Designed for the comfort and ease of the right-handed person, it is a cause of genuine pain and grief to thousands of students everywhere. The second is the fact that most college...
...outgoing President chose to deliver his final State of the Union message in person; the last President to do so was John Adams in 1800. Lyndon Johnson had a special reason for his decision, which he confessed was "just pure sentimental." He is a child of the Congress, and he was at home again for the last time as President.

Peter Townshend's answer is that the world is understood wholly in terms of vibrations, perceived through the sense of touch I presume. Thus, his recreation of the story of a particular...
...moved by the lyrics the same way the lyrics to early Frank Sinatra, or a song like "Somethin Stupid" are moving. There is a specific situation, a load of information concerning the lives and motivations of the individuals who are being discussed--usually in the first person--in the songs. In Sinatra, the situations are very realistic--a man writing a letter to his wife who has left him, or something like that. In the Who the situations are very strange. Townshend has a very strange head. Some of the lyrics make no sense internally...
