...them are run on the cheap, and the net result has amounted to air pollution. "In too many communities," said Minow, "to twist the radio dial today is to be shoved through a bazaar, a clamorous casbah of pitchmen and commercials which plead, bleat, pressure, whistle, groan and shout. Too many stations have turned themselves into publicly franchised jukeboxes." And, unfortunately, "radio stations do not fade away, they just multiply." To consider everything from a tightening of regulations over radio commercials to a possible moratorium on licenses for new AM stations, he proposed an "informal, face to face, shirtsleeves working...
...tough young Europeans enrolled in S.A.O. last week continued to kill 10 to 20 Moslems daily and to shout their defiance of the French Army and De Gaulle. But Europeans over 40, mourning the loss of beloved friends and relatives in the bloodshed, watching the slow death of long-cherished businesses, and sensing the decay of human decency around them, could only say, "Il faut que cela finisse...

But his top register can be glorious, and he often makes up in sheer strength and virility for what he lacks in sensuous sound or vocal finesse. He is at his best in such stentorian...
Unlike many an official guest in Washington, Sylvanus Olympic, 60. President of the new Republic of Togo, had not come demanding U.S. aid-or else. Indeed, he had a refreshingly realistic view of the problems of his and other emergent countries. Said he: "It is very easy to shout 'Freedom, Freedom,' even going to the extent of being very aggressive. But, after all, what we are looking for is not so much getting rid of a foreign ruler as to improve our standard of living, working for a better life. We must now actually prove to our people...
