...Give a Dose to the One You Love Most," which was written by Shel Silverstein, and he's nothing if not weird. Meanwhile, the new album is called Sloppy Seconds and Silverstein's almost writing exclusively for Dr. Hook. All of which sheds a lot of light, in retrospect, on the serious intent of "Sylvia's Mother," even though I still don't think it's nearly as funny as "It's My Party...
...forced the Service News to walk a tight-rope carrying a fine silk parasol. Franklin D. Roosevelt '04, president of the Crime in 1904, once said that he'd like to see a straight news sheet in New York City--one carrying all the news but no editorials. In retrospect, the Service News provided a testing ground for that project, and the test wasn't entirely successful. Practically any newspaperman will admit that complete impartiality is unattainable, and a few instances will illustrate that the Service News occassionally slipped off its tight-rope...

He was criticized for intellectual pretension as well as for being too primitive; he was accused of being too mannered and self-indulgent as an actor as well as of sleepwalking through parts just for the money; he was berated for not returning to the stage...
...polls; a characteristic Hesse offering shows McGovern, in tattered football gear, telling a dispirited huddle, "Cheer up?we're 3rd down and 85 yds. to go." More often than not, the press found itself in that same dilemma?playing catch-up ball in a sprawling, chaotic game. In retrospect, readers must be grateful that team members scored as many times as they...
...revisionist historians of the sixties with creating the Cold War, were very sophisticated (whatever else they may have been, they were sophisticated) men. Their policy led to the solidification of a divided Europe and a bipolar world. It led to internationalization and intensification of Third World domestic crises. In retrospect, Kennan's options were preferable, and, in view of his superior expertise (specific expertise preferable to sophistication) that isn't surprising...
