...percussion are Wyman's restrained bass lines, and this combination provides the thrust and visceral power of the Stones' music. With the drum/bass as floor, the two guitars fight for control, continually re-emphasizing the forward thrust of the bass, while Jagger's alternately sneering and raging tones proclaim through this wall of sound the primal savagery the Stones have always represented. The famous tension of their music is thus really two tensions: the first between guitars; the second between Jagger's voice and a band which seems always on the verge of pounding him to pieces...
Clean-Cut Victory. Many who proclaim fealty to the Administration are unreconstructed hawks who either do not realize or choose to ignore the fact that Nixon is determined to disengage from Viet Nam. In New Orleans, Randolph Dennis, chairman of Operation Speak Out, sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, exhorted listeners to "move on to some positive, two-fisted, basic patriotic Americanism" and to work for "a conclusive, clean-cut victory against the sworn enemies of freedom." Others desperately want out of Viet Nam but cannot abide the notion of admitting defeat...
...silent majority are the promoters of National Unity Week. This move was initiated by Edmund Dombrowski, an orthopedic surgeon from Redlands, Calif., and led by Show Business Celebrities Bob Hope and Art Linkletter.

The militants abhor Playboy as well as most women's magazines, which take an equally narrow view of the woman's role. To demonstrate their disgust and alienation from sexist society...
...over Cuba, posters proclaim TEN MILLION IN '70-a reminder that Fidel Castro is counting on an unprecedented harvest of 10 million tons of sugar next year. What makes that goal remarkable is that this year's crop will probably total no more than 4,500,000 tons. Nonetheless, despite drought, shoddy Soviet machinery and Cuba's inefficient armies of "volunteer" cane cutters, the Maximum Leader is confident of success. And why not? To achieve his target, Fidel is stretching the calendar...
