...LOOP GAROO KID says a novel can be anything it wants to be: a vaudeville show, the six o'clock news, the mumbling of wild men saddled by demons. That's a good thing to remember when you're reading Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down. because it will save you the trouble of having to come to that conclusion on your own and then wondering where to go from there. The book is a junkyard for the left-over bits and pieces of American myths that couldn't quite be worked into The System; interesting how you often learn more...

And the magazine, Newsweek, hardly lacks for vigorous competition...
...same master." There, the Vice President had a point. Mrs. Graham is not inclined to install top editors who stray too far from her own liberal views. It was perhaps unfortunate for her that when Newsweek's Lester Bernstein commented on Agnew's speech over CBS radio in New York, he chose precisely the same words used by Mrs. Graham. But a partial contradiction of Agnew's charge of monolithism was produced by an issue close to Richard Nixon's heart. Last week the Post ran an editorial supporting Judge Haynsworth's elevation...
