...Players had the difficult task of living up to high dramatic and musical standards. Jim Paul conducting the entire show without a score, a token of the professionalism that permeated the production. Under his baton the pit orchestra and several notches above the usual for G&S at Agassiz. In spite of occasionally poor intonation and some floundering in more technical passages, Paul's musicians played with sensitivity and variety, giving Yeomen by far the most exciting theatre orchestra heard around here for along time. The chorus has been well-drilled by Vince Canzoneri, and they negotiated the tongue-twisting...
...earnest of his interest in hemispheric development, Johnson has asked Congress to adopt a resolution endorsing the common market. He has also requested a more tangible token-a pledge of $1.5 billion in aid over the next five years, in addition to the $1 billion-a-year that is already being given in aid under the Alliance for Progress.

A delaying operation by even so consummate a strategist as De Gaulle can not last forever. In the long run, the British feel certain of getting in because they believe that the historic trends...
...either side. But having a security treaty with the United States, we are one of its close allies. The Japanese government has publicly, if only nominally, supported the American Vietnam policy. Yet the Japanese government assistance to the South Vietnamese government has been minimal, limited to the sending of token assistance of some medical care stuffs. We feel that total commitment to either side, at this stage, will not contribute anything to the peaceful solution of the bloody war. What we are trying to do by this policy is keep the option open for either side to seek a Japanese...
