...general, Through The Morning is an album worth having. The high quality of the musicianship and vocals (Dillard, Clark, and Donna Washburn) contribute to a sound which is very easy to listen to. It does not have anything startlingly new to say, but if you want a rest from being startled, lie back in your hammock and listen; it will grow...
...BOLD ONES (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). A convicted murderer is given a retrial after seven years of imprisonment on Death Row in "If I Should Wake Before I Die." District Attorney Washburn (Hari Rhodes) and the deputy chief (Leslie Nielsen) disagree on his guilt...
...first symmetrical weapons were the antecedents of technology. By domesticating the dog for the chase, the hunter may have opened his eyes to the possibility of domesticating the prey.

Similarly, the juvenile ape, observing grownup behavior, mimes it in his games. For this pleasurable educational system, modern man has substituted the discipline of the classroom and the material rewards of grades, both of which, in Washburn's view...

There is a fundamental difficulty in the fact that contemporary human groups are led by primates whose evolutionary history dictates a strong desire to dominate. Attempts to build personal or international relations on the wishful basis that people will not be aggressive is as futile as it would be to try to build the institution...
