...have made the point more dramatically than he did during the final hours of Senate debate last week. On the Senate floor, a page slipped up to Delaware's John Williams, one of the very few Senators who had not announced a position on Safeguard. "Senator," the page stage-whispered, "the President is on the telephone." The ABM opponents concluded that Nixon was applying last-minute pressure to win a wavering vote. Not a bit of it. ABM was never mentioned in the phone conversation, though Williams eventually voted with the Administration. Williams is the ranking Republican on the Senate...
...Eugene P. Odum, 55, of the University of Georgia, is a specialist on estuarine marshes and author of the standard college textbook, Fundamentals of Ecology. "We have got to stop thinking of ourselves as being in the growth stage of civilization and realize that we are in the mature stage," says Odum. "Up to now we have been a consumptive, destructive civilization. We must now learn to recycle and reuse." Under his direction, the University of Georgia's Institute of Ecology is studying how tidewater marshes help to produce 90% of the country's seafood...
This summer, in an attempt to recapture Wieland's spirit of adventure, Wolfgang relaxed the family's autocratic grip on Wagner's monument by allowing Director August Everding and Designer Josef Svoboda to stage The Flying Dutchman.

The vessel loomed darkly out of the water like a giant mollusk, brightened only by the Dutchman's pale face leaning over the bow. It dwarfed everything on the stage and threatened to sail straight out into the audience. Svoboda and Everding even had the audacity to stage the finale the way Wagner wrote it (most producers are afraid it will look corny), with the ship plunging beneath the waves and Senta and the Dutchman walking...
...anguished protest poem Howl ("I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness . . .") set the stage for the Beat scene. Since then, often unwashed yet somehow steeped in cleansing waves of culture, sometimes naked but never far removed from the whole cloth of bohemian and Brahman tradition, Allen Ginsberg has gained celebrity not only as a poet but as a practicing pansexualist and pioneer in psychedelia. He has also preached all manner of revolutionary activities that could lead to the overthrow of what he considers society's "hallucination" regarding money and power...
