...touring opportunities it provides unequalled by any other group. One alto commented after rehearsal that she felt more pressure to excell musically in the Collegium than she had ever felt in previous years singing with RCS: "The quality, the tone, the music, is so universally good that even the smallest mistake by one person is immediately obvious to everybody. So there is pressure from within the group for continual improvement in addition to John's demanding standards. It's difficult, but really worth...
...with a certain equanimity. There is no White House consensus, however, on the potential opposition. Some in Nixon's high command think that Muskie would be the toushest man for the President to beat, believing that Muskie would unite most elements of the nation's majority party with the smallest flake-off at either end. Muskie could bring to television an effective counterimage to Nixon, as he did on election eve last November.

...Tuesday October 26, a little over a week ago, a group of about 1000 demonstrators met in Washington to take another try at making a protest to end the war. The group was striking in no way except size: it was one of the smallest nationally publicized antiwar protests to date. Almost all of the demonstrators were familiar with Washington and militant protest. They talked of Mayday, the Pentagon, Chicago, and hoped that, despite their small number, this protest, dubbed the Nixon Eviction, would become something to talk about later...
