...would be a mistake to overestimate Humphrey's problem. The situation may not be so bleak as it seems. The small crowds and the languid receptions, say his strategists, are in part the result of a national mood of political disenchantment following the assassination of Robert Kennedy. They may also be the result of the summer doldrums. "Wait until Labor Day," advises one Humphrey backer, with perhaps more than a little wishful thinking. "When the people know for sure that the alternative is Richard Nixon, Humphrey is going to look mighty good to them...
Mindful of the confusion that followed the 1961 call-up of reservists during the Berlin crisis, the armed forces were better prepared this time. As a result, there have been far fewer complaints about inadequate facilities, shortages of equipment and weapons or lack of something useful to do. Nonetheless, the men find plenty to gripe about: after all, they were moved abruptly from what sociologists call a goal-oriented society into the tell-'em-nothing, keep-'em-busy world of the military...
...result, about the only food that reaches the Biafrans is flown to the Spanish island of Fernando Po or the Portuguese island of Sao Tome and then, under cover of night, airlifted into the bush. The planes, which are used on other nights to fly in arms and ammunition, land on a lantern-lit stretch of highway somewhere between Owerri and Port Harcourt, frequently under fire from federal ack-ack guns.

...valuable player (and just about the only one who is healthy) is the team physician, Russell M. Wright. Regular Rightfielder Al Kaline, eleven times an All-Star, has been out of action since May 25 with a broken arm. Third Baseman Don Wert is recovering from a concussion, the result of a scalping in Cleveland last week. Leftfielder Willie Horton (.287, 18 homers) wears a brace to support his weak Achilles tendon. All-Star Catcher Bill Freehan is playing with a sore arm. Outfielder Jim Northrup with a sore knee, and Centerfielder Mickey Stanley with a sore arm plus...
...result is that in most productions, Tristan and Isolde are lovers who seem to forget that they have bodies. Sometimes the audience wishes it could forget too, in view of the age and bulk of most singers who are up to the demands of the vocal score. Not even the composer's innovation-minded grandson, Wieland Wagner, could change this. His productions introduced heavy hints of Freudian psychology, but the lovers' bond remained shrouded in symbolism. It all seemed to bear out Wagner's advice to Nietzsche that to get the most out of the opera...
