...subtle. The rest of the band sneaks in toward the end of the verse, with the same drive they displayed on "Shoot Out," here geared down only enough to keep the tune's direction and pace. The song is based on simple descending and ascending progressions, with an uneven, yet impassioned vocal--listen to Winwood's delivery of the line "I don't know who's losing,/And I don't know who's winning." The guitar solo is again mixed down, fuzzy to the point of feeding back, simple, echoed. Winwood's second entrance on guitar sears, jolts...
...News to editorialize. Instead, the paper was administered during the war by a board of David M. Little '18, Master of Adams House and Secretary of the University. Mrs. Anna Hoke, the paper's accountant, Donald T. Field '31, and Thomas S. Kuhn '44. These four oversaw a rotating, uneven, erratic staff which sometimes amounted only to Mrs. Hoke and Art Hopkins, as they turned out first a weekly, and later a semi-weekly from The Crimson's quarters. For once, the paper did not have to seek for advertising; J. Press, Filene's Leopold Morse, and a dozen others...
Crichton is the author of the highly successful Secret of Santa Vittoria, and this book is already a bestseller. Yet The Camerons curiously resembles an autobiographical first novel; its uneven scenes are sometimes sheer cardboard, sometimes compelling.

His description of a starved, out-of-work miner treating himself to one golden, fabulously self-indulgent, perfectly boiled egg would splinter a heart...
...other stories in the book, while more or less mediocre, demonstrate along with the story of the boy and the ancient prostitute, a certain ability for the particular and an insight into the quixotic. Although the over-riding characteristic of Lessing's writing-which is extremely uneven from story to story-is long-windedness, it is only when she addresses social abstracts that she makes a fool of herself. Then, appreciable as her sentiments may be it is one long wince for the reader, and, especially if the reader is under thirty, rather like watching one's parents...
...Erick Hawkins Dance Company is the current forum for the abstract, avantgarde, and sometimes uneven work of a former husband and partner of Martha Graham. Hawkins regularly choreographs his works before his long-time collaborator, Composer Lucia Dlugoszewski, writes the music. This rather strange reversal of step and beat, not to mention cart and horse, too often showed in what might have been called the super-calisthenicization of his choreography. Yet Hawkins frequently attained a timeless mood in such Oriental-flavored works as Dawn Dazzled Door. The psuedo-Apollonian Angels of the Inmost Heaven featured a quartet of beauties...
