...NATO is by no means ready to sustain such a loss as contemplated by the proposed foreign-aid cuts (which International Cooperation Administrator John Hollister last week estimated would more than halve the allowance for NATO's military hardware over the next fiscal year).' Gruenther said that the full West German contributions of twelve divisions and 1,380 aircraft will not be available for three more years. Not until then will NATO really be strong enough to defend West Europe against Russia...
...flat by Allan Sapp, was played by the composer. The movements are: Larghetto, Allegro Molto, Andantino, and Allegro. This is an intensity about it that commands attention. Something is being said that is worth listening to, particularly in the faster movements, where brilliant figurations and subtle rhythms sustain a motion that has few lapses. The slower sections are less interesting, the Larghetto being the least successful of the movements. The Andantino, quiet and comparatively consonant, is sometimes a little too sweet and sometimes a bit irrelevant. On the whole, though, the Sonata in E-flat has sincerity and strength...
Since it will not have to worry about fuel conservation, the nuclear task force will be able to sustain a speed of better than 30 knots over long ranges. With one-tenth as many ships as World War II's massed armadas, it will have infinitely more firepower. Forged into a unit by its communications system and far-ranging missilry, it could disperse itself over an ocean area the size of Indiana, so that even if its shield were pierced, not more than one of its ships could be knocked out by any one existing weapon. As the admirals...
...first was a solo cantata for baritone, strings, oboe, and continue, Ich hab genug (No. 82.). The orchestra was beautifully conducted by Greenebaum, but soloist Gary Gaines was clearly unequal to the taxing vocal line. His voice lacked support, volume, and depth; and his breath control was insufficient to sustain the phrases. The other cantata, Wachet auf (No. 140), fared better. The chorus, numbering only twelve, was well trained by Edward Lloyd, and bass soloist Thomas Beveridge sang with feeling. The soprano soloist was Sara-Jane Smith, who added one more concert to her list of impressive performances. There...
Essentially both statements mean the same thing-i.e., that he wants to wipe out the rigid, 90%-of-parity price supports adopted in wartime, because he is convinced that they only build up the surplus and will not really sustain prices. He favors a flexible price-support system ranging down to 75% of parity for crops in surplus and up to 90% for crops in demand, because he feels this will discourage production of surpluses and give the law of supply and demand a chance to operate to the farmers' eventual benefit...
