...only vocal proponent of the project in the family, Calvin W. Stillman '39, wrote in a 1966 Black Rock Forest Report that he felt "the plant as planned constitutes no significant blight upon the natural beauty of Storm King and the Hudson River shorelines," and saw no reason why it should not be built...
...Tenderness" may be Simon's answer to Otis's "Try a Little Tenderness." Simon can't match Otis's power, so his approach is plaintive. The guitar obbligatos are from the era of the big band vocal.

...revival of interest in a mustachioed, vegetarian nonsmoker. An artist and architect, he was a firm believer in astrology and, though a speed freak, surrounded himself with people who preferred cocaine and morphine. His appeal to youth was legendary: he could hold an auditorium spellbound for hours with a vocal solo. He died underground, committing suicide in protest against a social climate that he found oppressive...
