...broader scale we should all quit our masochistic flag-waving for drugs. Roszak doesn't have much faith in dope as the way to achieve the new life, and as much as I'd rather not. I have to agree with him. The hallucinogens could easily become the opiate of the counter culture...
...linking of unprecedented subtlety among movements, the proliferation of material in the second thematic group, the immediate juxtaposition of radically differing elements (here Mahler extended Bruckner's simpler process of motto-lyrical oppositions to ironic commentary on all materials), and the greatest lesson of an enormously expanded sonata time-scale. But Mahler could never equal the cerulean and luminous chorale apotheoses of this Edward Gibbon of symphonists.

Prices tapered after the U.S. rejected the offer...
...Robert C. Fellmeth and John E. Schulz. 230 pages. Baron. $5.95. A tell-it-like-it-is indictment of one of Washington's most slovenly agencies. One can only hope that, like the Hardy boys, Ralph Nader's student crusaders will follow up with a full-scale series...
