...Never Give Me Your Money). In The End, a final note of acceptance of life's burdens is sealed with an affirmation: "The love you take is equal to the love you make." To avoid too much of an amen quality, the side concludes with a brief snoot-cocking ditty by Paul McCartney...
...clear brown eyes stay cool, and the audience roars its welcome; they can hardly wait for Hope to sock it to them. And so he does. Five, six gags a minute. Pertinent, impertinent, leering, perishing. And sometimes plopping, but only for an instant. When he misses, the famous scooped snoot shoots defiantly skyward, the prognathous jaw drops in mock anguish, or he goes into a stop-action freeze.

IVES: PIANO SONATA NO. I (1902-1910) (RCA Victor). Charles Ives was such a rebel that his music bears little resemblance to the placid mainstream of turn-of-the-century American sounds.

The estimated price of the plane has already jumped from $7,000,000 to $21 million. Even so, the partners hope that when the 1,450-m.p.h. Concorde goes into commercial use in 1971, it will snare...
...Japanese forward. Japan was awarded a penalty boot, and the Iranian captain was banished from the field for protesting the penalty. At game's end, the president of the Iran Football Federation approached the Thai referee to continue the argument, and the referee smacked him in the snoot. At that point, as they say in the Pentagon, the battle escalated. Players and spectators leaped into the fray, and helmeted riot police waded in with clubs. The Iranians lost the fight as well as the game...
