Last week opponents and supporters of ABM engaged in another exchange of paper missiles. The antagonists were acknowledged experts in their fields. Their arguments, pro and con, were well reasoned. Even so, they brought the issue no closer to a political solution in Congress or a popular verdict in the nation. The reason is that neither the critics nor the advocates of the ABM can argue with any certainty just what kind of attack the Russians or the Chinese may be capable of mounting in the next decade...

The further extremity of Cage's esthetic of chance would eliminate Cage himself. The universality of the art would have been destroyed as well as all reasonable artistic communication, since that presupposes some conscious relation between at least two people. I suppose that the reason for anxiety over the death of music is that the avant-garde will lead unswervingly to solipsism, in which each sound in heard not in terms of itself, but in terms...
