...dynamism of mass parties, argued Crossman, originates with the party militants. Curiously, the mass public will be resistant to change. "The middle-the good, common-sense voter-will pull the Cabinet back from drastic change.

...Committee also set up a nearly undecipherable voting system to determine what Houses should go coed. The 480 Cliffies will rank the Houses in order of preference and those results will be fed into a computer with results of another poll on the most desirable ratios of men to women in the Houses.

By contrast DGG's sound is sumptuous. Though Böhm's conducting is eminently musical, the final effect is earthbound even where...
