...campaign corollary to Parkinson's Law might be: Words directed at the electorate multiply in direct proportion to the time and space available on TV and radio and in magazines and newspapers. By any reckoning, the 1968 campaign sets an alltime record for verbiage. Small wonder that with so much talk flooding the ether, the words sometimes get mixed up and Candidate A sounds like his opponent Candidate B, and Candidate C sounds like both. As proof of the theorem, here is a simple test: Match the candidates and their words...
...made in the basic-research programs of the National Science Foundation, which also provided about 8,000 new fellowships for graduate students last year. Congress sliced $95 million from the NSF projects, a 19% cut from last year's total. The research funds of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration were left almost intact, but NASA's support of graduate students was almost abandoned. NASA offered 1,335 new fellowships in 1966, but only about 45 this year. The U.S. Office of Education, which had hoped to begin major demonstration projects in new teaching techniques, saw its request...
...podium, he brings along insight, evangelism, an insider's care, and the ability to get what he wants from an orchestra. This is why he has become one of the most sought-after guest conductors in Europe and the U.S. It helps explain why, in the space of only a few years, his recordings of Schoenberg, Berg, Debussy and Stravinsky have been such successes.

...theater, Peter Brook is more of a general than a visionary. A brainy and restless director, he rules his actors like a task-force commander, dispatching them on missions of dramatic exploration-most notably in his production of Marat / Sade. In a new book, The Empty Space, Brook displays himself as a man in the ironic position of being grafted to the theater while finding most of it lifeless. Based on a series of four lectures that he delivered to English university students, the book is divided into four sections: "The Deadly Theater," "The Holy Theater," "The Rough Theater...
...families know perfectly well what they are missing. Sets may burn in their offices during the World Series or space shots, and many who would not have a receiver in the house watch on the sly at their neighbors'. This suggests that it is frequently not TV per se that is objectionable, but the quality of everyday programming. "What I've seen," says Mrs. Paul Scott, 27, of suburban Los Angeles, "has really frightened me. There's this tremendous emphasis on materialism. And of course the violence." Mrs. Jan Rogers of Tallahassee, a mother of two young...
