Still, the outside world's attention was wishfully galvanized by signs and suggestions that peace talks might be in the offing. In Washington, White House Aide Walt Rostow observed that "an extremely interesting and delicate phase" had been reached in diplomatic efforts to move the war to the conference table. At New Mexico State University, General Maxwell Taylor, a former U.S. ambassador to Saigon, declared that conditions for a negotiated peace had improved. The fact that U.S. bombers did not immediately head north when the truce ended at week's end served to heighten speculation...
Oral Types. Some pop psychers believe that particular instruments tend to form particular personalities, even down to physical similarities. The Boston Symphony's Sherman Walt ascribes great significance to the fact that he is tall and skinny like his bassoon. Berlin Philharmonic Cellist Eberhart Finken is convinced that woodwind players speak with the same tones and inflections as their instruments...

The Big Red's Walt Esdaile is a big man -- at 6 ft. 5 in, and 240 pounds, he outweighs the Crimson's heaviest man by 25 pounds. Esdaile controlled the offensive board in the second half, and contributed 21 points in addition...

What fascinates me is the authority with which Forman makes his technical "errors." One senses in his Walt Whitman-like momentum and in the obvious abundance of his love the potential power to create a new propriety, to make today's errors tomorrow's principles. Specifically, Forman often neglects to "place" his scenes properly in space. It is hard to lay down principles by which proper placement can be achieved, but by negative example, the color cartoon often violates such principles deliberately, for humorous effect. Thus, when Tom or Jerry gets flattened by a train steaming out of a direction...
