The Lovin' Spoonful "jump-cut" provocatively among narratives, and interrogatives; such lively imagination no-one demanded or would have appreciated a few years...
Died. Charles M. Goethe, 91, California banker-turned-conservationist who made a fortune in real estate before he was 30, and spent the rest of his life using it to help protect the nation's natural beauty, making heavy donations to the infant National Park Serv ice from 1919 to 1923 to help preserve Yosemite's rugged splendor, later became a leader in the fight to save California's diminishing redwoods; of bronchial pneumonia; in Sacramento, Calif...
