...FOREIGN POLICY. Nixon accepted Rockefeller's pet proposal for regional "confederations." DEFENSE. Shaking off his burden of defending Administration defense policies without reservation, Nixon agreed that the "military posture" of the 1950s would not do for the 1960s, joined in a call for more and better bombers, an airborne SAC alert, more missiles, dispersed bases, greater limited-war capability and "an intensified program for civil defense." Unmentioned but implied was Rocky's old demand that the defense bill should be bigger by billions...
...invulnerable striking force capable of surviving a sneak attack-a mobile, dispersible, devastating guarantee of destruction to any enemy tempted to touch off an all-out assault. With Polaris submarines at sea, no enemy can possibly figure on knocking out U.S. power with a strike at SAC airfields and missile bases.

Instead of cash-paying passengers or revenue freight, it carried 45 hand-picked officers and men of the Strategic Air Command and enough communications gear to put them in instant and constant contact with SAC bases around the world.

The early 1950's saw the break-through of our native abstract pioneers into fresh realms of feeling; today that movement seems in a cul-de-sac in which imitation and repetition have momentarily taken the place of creative statement. If the art in the Festival has little to say, why blame the Festival because we're in the tag-end of a stylistic period from which new forms arise? The cure for the atonal music...
