...Triple Subsidy for cotton, recently passed, calls for annual expenditures in excess of six hundred million dollars to accomplish these general purposes: support the price of raw cotton to bolster the income of cotton farmers; subsidize the export of U.S. cotton by paying a fixed sum per pound to American exporters so they can match the much-lower world price; subsidize U.S. textile mills by paying them enough so they can afford to buy the price-supported, export-subsidized domestic stuff...
...Harvard University Choir and the Bach Society Orchestra, two of the pockets of high quality performance in Harvard, combined last night for a concert of sacred music in Memorial Church. The quality of the combination was something less than the sum of the quality of the Choir and the BSO, because the two compositions the orchestra played alone hardly matched the two works sung by the choir, Brahms' Fest- und Gedenksprueche, Op. 109 and Mozart's Litaniae de Venerabili Altaris Sacramento...

Unfortunately, this string of symbols does not form an organic work. A tank rumbles through the empty streets at no time in particular. Does it suggest the militaristic, secular power which has supplanted the absolute comfort of religion? Or perhaps it represents the phallic preoccupation of the woman who watches. Either way, its indiscriminate placement seems to reflect the work of a Waring Blender rather...
