...QUARTET IN A MINOR OPUS 132 (RCA Victor). This intricate work was written 25 years after the septet and sounds a world apart, especially in this crisp, exact performance by the Juilliard String Quartet. Technically, the Juilliard is superb; the pianissimo passages, for example, are feather-light and still warm, but the third movement, the "song of thanksgiving offered to the divinity by a convalescent," sounds curiously reserved...
Despite that warm interlude, Johnson appeared stiff and serious when he mounted the stage of the Opera House. Beginning on a note of polite hope, he declared that, "Where historically man has moved fitfully from war toward war, in these last two decades man has moved steadily away from war. More than 50 times in these 20 years, the United Nations has acted to keep the peace." He called for an "international war on poverty" and an "alliance for man," made a pitch for world birth control. Said Johnson: "Let us act on the fact that less than $5 invested...
...fields where the 750-lb. and 1,000-lb. blockbusters had hit. Not a single Viet Cong body was found, although the searchers drew steady sniper fire, showing that Communists were still in the area. In an abandoned cave, the searchers found Viet Cong communications equipment and teakettles still warm to the touch.

More skeptical officers looked at it another way: the bombing raid had been so ineffective that it had not even tipped over...
...outnumber those in the West. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the summer sea off Cape Cod is warmer than it is just north of Los Angeles, some 550 miles farther south. Says Hobie Alter, the West Coast's leading surfboard manufacturer: "The East has 1,500 miles of warm water in the summer. We have maybe 200 miles on the West Coast, and much of that is away from the centers of population." What is Hobie going to do about it? For a start, he already has eleven East Coast distributors, seven more than he has in California...
...Warm Bathtub. Sexus has a quality of self-admitted buffoonery; inexhaustible potency and insatiable partners are not part of the real world. It is also horrendous in its details, all relentlessly chronicled in the most basic English. To say that it is monumentally tasteless is to say the obvious; that was clearly Miller's intention. But at least, unlike so much current pornography, it is not homosexual or death-ridden. Many of its 40-odd sexual encounters are just splashings in Miller's warm-bathtub world of woozy friendship...
