Despite the relative calm of both the Administration and the public, Senator Eugene McCarthy insisted that the Government had overreacted. He carped at Johnson's decision to call a late-night meeting of his National Security Council to review the Czechoslovak situ ation. Arguing that the invasion did not amount to a "major world crisis," the Senator said that in Johnson's place, he would have "listened to the news and checked it out with one or two people to see whether it was accurate. And then I would have said, 'Let's keep informed, and we'll meet...
...Surprisingly few. Oh, some things backfire. Like reviews. I feel in a review I have a right to be as brutal as I want to, especially with television because it's such a crappy medium.

...show ended and the people left, the blues band led by Peter Ivers continued to play. The people came back and grooved with them for half an hour. It was that kind of a night. Returning to the CRIMSON expecting to find a photo to accompany this absurd review, I discovered a note from the photographer (and this is God's truth) which I quote in its entirety: "Sorry fans--the play was so good that I forgot to load the camera." I was proud of him. Everyman's immediacy is such that you don't take pictures and write...
