...sensitive is the Middle East's political seismograph that even as Arab leaders tried to contain the fighting in Jordan, the ripples created by the civil war continued to widen. The radical Baathist governments of Iraq and Syria gave unqualified vocal support to the guerrillas, defying Egypt's suggestion that they stay out of the dispute. "We will not spare one drop of blood to help," said Syrian President Noureddine Atassi. The U.S. and Israel hinted that they might intervene if the regimes in Baghdad and Damascus sent regular troops to reinforce the guerrillas. But at week's end Amman...

Rhythms move in parallel layers, interrupting, overlaying, penetrating one another, multiplying into mathematical complexity, finally merging into one overwhelming musical thrust.

Miss Valente and the orchestra gave a highly correct interpretation of the work, yet no one devoid of feeling. The work, originally composed...
Blacks generally are the most vocal opponents of all. Cleveland Mayor Carl Stokes has said that providing housing, clothing and food for the poor should take precedence over finding ways to combat air and water pollution. Says Richard Hatcher, black mayor of Gary, Ind.: "The nation's concern with environment has done what George Wallace was unable to do: distract the nation from the human problems of black and brown Americans...
