...likelihood, that will not be the fate of Luciano Berio. Last week at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, Berio led the New York Philharmonic and the Swingle Singers in the world premiere of his Sinfonia. It is a white-hot musical experience that invokes the malaise of the times better than all the sit-ins, beards, beads and clubbings that wrench contemporary life...

Should there be a floor fight, there is little likelihood that enough Senators would show up during this campaign month to provide the necessary two-thirds vote to cut off debate...
