...approach the question, What's Blues?, in another way, one could say that Blues is the history of America's 22 million oppressed black citizens.

The Blues is about suffering but singing, dancing and listening to the Blues is one way of escapng from feeling "blue" for the moment. As Blues singer Albert King says "if you have ever been hurt by your main squeeze, down...
...least in absolute figures, the number of May-December marriages is bound to rise. More and more older men are divorced each year, and many will seek partners younger than their former wives.

...implicit partiality for social engineering made Planning 11-3b objectionably narrow in conception as well as frighteningly numb to its racist overtones, and it is fortunate that Bruening acknowledged the mistakes and cancelled the seminar. Had he chosen not to yield to his critics though, the course should have been given--not cancelled by force as the Afro demonstrators promised Friday it would be. One bad course would do far less damage than the precedent that a course's point of view opens it to suppression by those in the community who find that point of view objectionable...
