Within this carefully limited framework, the message proposed that the Federal Government should help combat the problems of 1) uneven distribution of medical facilities (only four or five hospital beds per 1,000 persons ip some states, with ten or eleven in others), and 2) high medical costs (some 10% of American families spend more than $500 a year for medical care, and the national average is $200).

Randall Thompson's Symphony No. 3, which filled out the program, seemed to be quite uneven.

...death his reputation unaccountably declined. His art was nervous, rich, and flickeringly intense. He loved to paint girls in bright gowns drifting like little flames through dark forests; sometimes he gave the same dreamlike quality to a straight portrait or still life. Technically, his work was very uneven. Being a romantic, he painted from the heart, and everything depended on how he felt at the moment.
