50 per cent of the vote, he would resign. Over the recommendation
of his own Senate that he quit and allow real elections to be held,
he has, according to evidence presented to American newsmen, set
up an elaborate system for fixing the election. He could not lose. He
How Nixon can show his face In public is an Interesting question.
He has turned 180 degrees on almost everything he stood for - his
economic policy, his support for Taiwan and his opposition to Peking,
his opposition to action on the wage-price spiral - has he now decided that democracy was not really what we wanted for the Vietnamese? We fought for years to protect them from a dictatorship,
and now we stand calmly by while a dictator Is "re-elected" In perfect  Russian style. It  seems  obvious that the Vietnamese people

Late last summer, I was pawing through a bunch of singles
that'd come my way, and I came
across one called '1862 b.p.*
by Reverend Ether, the Kingdom,
the .Power, and the Glory.
Figuring- that was a strange
enough name for anybody, I played
It. Then, after I picked myself
off the celling, I realized that
here was something I'd never
heard before. Here was this guy
who sang like the bastard son of
Tina Turner and Little Richard,
played piano like Professor
Longhair and wrote weird songs
about the Civil War.
Naturally, the single never took
off. the artist disappeared about
as soon as he'd' arrived, and I
spent the next year playing "1862

Suicide Trilogy, three songs ("1

will leave you cutting your wrists
with a smile. Or "Samson and the

I could go on, but let me just
say that Loudon Walnwrlght HI Is
going to burst on the scene very
shortly as a New Genius, so prepare yourself now by picking up
on his new album.
Then there's Michael Hurley, a
