Rogers decided to hold off the aircraft announcement. Even so, the tenor of his remarks was plain: if the Arabs fail to show a willingness for peace and the Soviet military buildup continues, the U.S. will supply more aircraft, though not perhaps as many as the 25 Phantoms and 100 Skyhawks that Israel wants...
...trend setters and chroniclers of an era, they sing of grass, alienation and oppression. The very names of those who have made it are slogans of rebellion: the Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Wayne Newton . . . Wait a minute-Wayne Newton? Isn't he that big, baby-faced panda, that tenor with adenoidal arrest and the grin that seems to tell you he just made all-state halfback at Waycross High? Where did he come from...
Although the demand for Black Studies programs, at Harvard as elsewhere, surfaced only as black student protest escalated during the later years of the 1960's, that demand resulted from black student activism which spanned the entire decade.

Today, Birgit Nilsson is the archetypal Wagnerian Soprano, just as Jussi Bjoerling was the ultimate Italian Tenor during the 1940s and '50s.

...cast of Daniel is more uneven, but again one singer stands out. His name is Lawrence Bakst, and he possesses one of the most attractive and effortless tenor voices around. It would be good to hear him more often in the Cambridge area. The other lead singers were generally effective, with Chalyce Brown an especially striking Queen. The chorus also sang well, but their acting was only to varying degrees appropriate. The entrance of the Queen's seven attendants, all smiling like airline stewardesses, was more appropriate to a Miss America pageant than a medieval pageant-opera...
