...bedraggled pilgrims from Sweden, Holland, Australia, the U.S. and every corner of Britain, many of whom had hitchhiked for days to get there with bedrolls and rucksacks on their backs. For a week, brightly colored tents had dotted the festival grounds. For the past twelve hours, the idolaters of rock had been staked out in choice positions on the grass or aboard knobby limbs of strategically located trees in the arena. They were young. They were more than 100,000 strong. They had come to the Isle of Wight off the English shore at Southampton to witness the first full...

Dylan himself was pleased by the concert. He came away from the concert feeling strong enough for a full-scale comeback in the U.S. Already he has announced a touring show with The Band, the superb Canadian country-rock group that backed him at Wight.

Even towns on shallow rivers could get a crack at foreign commerce, since the average draft of a barge is only eight feet. Tulsa officials already plan to spend $20 million in the next two years to build a port to be named Catoosa, from which they expect to ship oil field machinery destined for Europe. Arkansas grain distributors, who export 40% of the 100 million bushels of grain that...
