...story on the Riot Commission Report I was quoted as saying that "the Administration consists of nothing but a bunch of patio liberals." I call your attention to the fact that his phrase was used not by me but by Secretary Wirtz, who doubtless had in mind Ivy League university professors much more than the hard-nosed liberals of the Administration who have lately been so busy putting out fires in Washington.

...British sound in 1964, including a Beatles period, can be traced back to the shy Texan. The rolling beat of Peggy Sue and Tell Me How lived, as little else of the '50's did, well into the '60's, and the Holly hiccup that gracenotes the title phrase of Oh Boy and gives "love" second and third syllables is one of rock's top trademarks...

Merz Picture with Rainbow clearly foreshadows Robert Rauschenberg's "combines" of the 1950s...
...clear, though, from the very first phrase of Beethoven's knotty Op. 111, that the performance would in no way resemble a wrestling match, and that technically Indjic was more than the man for the task. He played through the Chopin--six selected Etudes and two Ballades, in F major and F minor--with no sign of discomfort and though he visibly steeled himself before launching into the strenuous "Appasionata," he seemed to gather a second, or perhaps third wind and afterwards played two sparkling Debussy encores...
