...backlash issue, its impact is baffiingly uneven and unpredictable. In Illinois, Democratic Senator Paul Douglas is losing votes to G.O.P. Challenger Charles Percy not only among Chicago whites but also among hitherto loyal Negroes, who resent Democratic Mayor Richard Daley's resistance to their demands. In Ohio, Republican Congressman William M. McCulloch, a key man in getting the 1964 Civil Rights Act through the House, is now under sharp attack by a Democratic opponent who accuses him of "appeasing the violence of the rioters." And in Massachusetts' U.S. Senate race, backlash voters face a bewildering choice between G.O.P...
...close to proportionately in the major occupations and professions. Of course, it does not require that Negroes represent exactly the same percentage in every type of profession and every skill; no such uniformity is found among other groups in American society, and differences will inevitably develop because of the uneven geographic distribution of the Negro labor force, and different degrees of interest in various kinds of work. But in terms of broadly defined occupational categories, the sort on which our national employment statistics are organized, a reosonable uniformity is a condition of full equality...
Because the Brookhaven bubble chamber has a fixed magnetic field, the positive pions that Franzini studied always curved in one direction, while the negative pions went the other way. If the field had been uneven for any reason, the higher positive-pion energy levels detected at Brookhaven might well have been erroneous. In the CERN spark chamber, the magnetic field was periodically reversed to make sure that positive and negative pions would both be subject to any variations in the field...
Might the big result be a "New Look" similar to the one Christian Dior inaugurated back in 1947, when dresses plunged to midcalf? There was resistance. "The uneven hemline-sexy and stunning-will influence fashion, and so will the long coats-but not yet," said the Ohrbach buyer. "His timing is off." Said Bonwit's buyer, gazing at the long coats: "We're not ready for that sort of thing." For the British, the hemline dropped like a bomb. "It would be fatal!" cried one British designer. "I've just made my spring collection-all short. Shops...
...full disappointment this record brings cannot be blamed on its uneven quality; Dylan has edited badly before, notably on Times Are A-Changin', Optis 3. What is troubling now is a studied inarticulacy--a consistent deverbalization--which marks good and bad songs alike on Blonde on Blonde. Emblematic of the present wordlessness stands the cardboard jacket, filled with snapshots where past albums abounded in liner notes (often awkward but sometimes incisive). The songs themselves, by profuse blues repetitions and by overlong choruses, generally blunt the listener's attention to the language of the songs...
