Monetary problems, notably the chronic U.S. balance of payments deficit and the international role of the dollar, will be one of the shared difficulties Nixon must discuss in each of the capitals he visits-London, Bonn, Rome, Paris. There are many others: the state of NATO, Soviet adventurism in Eastern Europe, the volatile Middle East, Britain's continued isolation from the Common Market, the proposed treaty banning the spread of nuclear weapons that some nonnuclear powers-notably West Germany-have feared might cut them off from peaceful applications of atomic technology. Also, Nixon wants to sound out the Atlantic...
...such victories were no longer enough. After Farmer left CORE in 1966, he was dismayed to see his organization, which had been militantly for integration, suddenly turn toward separatism.

Some way out of our present musical somnambula must be found. "The world," feels Mr. Kirchner, "needs shock treatment; this is the role of the avant-garde. It is sacrificial, self-immolating." The purpose of such men as John Cage and Pierre Boulez is to inter the paralyzing reputations of the masters, especially the twentieth-century masters who have become classics and therefore dead issues. The finest contemporary composers are struggling to form and sustain...
...what are these assistant doing with all this power!" in the Moyers interview and the Baker-Peters piece is especially significant. These journalists cannot see beyond their own forms--there is surprise here that people may be doing something that they are not perhaps supposed to do in their role definitions, and the conclusion is that this is good, and sometimes...
