...language, Convert Muggeridge often succeeds in convincing. As he presents them, the Christian churches and their priests-especially the Anglicans "drivelling away their lives"-do not seem good enough, nor the Pope himself sufficiently papal, to minister to the spiritual needs of our bewildered world. The Muggeridgiad stays amusing withal; cap and bells are this prophet's hair shirt...
...Withal, the Zoo Opera generated a rapport between artists and audience that made for something special. "It was a fun palace," says Peerce. "An alfresco thing, where you asked a soprano to hold your Coke bottle while you went out and did your death scene. The peacocks never snouted me down.

It actually made little difference that the machinists, defying their own union leadership, later voted down even that hefty hike. The fact was that Johnson himself had ignored the guideposts-withal his rationale about airline "productivity"-and now the doors were wide open to above-the-line moves by both labor and management in all industries. That point was soon proved when the steel industry last week imposed major price increases, and the Johnson Administration could not in conscience do anything...
