...attacks indifference, loneliness and unhappiness the way a windmill attacks the air, stirring up little tempests with whirring music and sharp imagery. Juxtaposing sweet, lyrical melodies with the words of protest and defiance, he speaks of "illness, war, the young ones, myself." A quartet of empathetic American performers interpret Brel in English with inventive arrangements and passionate delivery. The hopeful Bachelor's Dance (La Bourrée du Célibataire), the chagrined Jackie ("If I could be for just one little hour cute, cute, cute in a stupid-assed way"), the infuriated Funeral Tango, all deal with material...

In fact, the evidence is ambiguous, and as with Hanoi's unenlightening silence, the Administration has chosen to interpret it pessimistically. If there is more fighting, both sides will try to use it to improve their bargaining positions in the peace that must eventually come...

...confines of the legal profession, the Warren court has often been attacked. Usually the line is drawn between two factions. There are those who, like the late Justices Louis Brandeis and Felix Frankfurter, believe in strict judicial restraint, holding that the court exists not to make law but to interpret it rather strictly. And there are the judicial activists, who believe that many wrongs can be righted by following the broad mandate of the Constitution. The main thrust of the Warren court, particularly since Frankfurter's retirement in 1962, has been toward activism. This view, complains Justice John Harlan...
