...approval did not pass a bond issue; it took a clear 60% majority. When the voters went to the booths last year to consider twelve separate issues, costing $820 million, they passed seven of them, costing $334 million. Seattle's central area, a Negro slum, supported the entire program and will receive benefits from a $12 million street-improvement bond issue, plus new parks and swimming pools. The most expensive single item to be rejected-a $385 million mass-transit system-will be presented to the voters again next year, when traffic in Seattle thickens even more...
...Forward Thrust's program this far, Ellis had to deal with 30 city governments and King County. He readily concedes that it would have been more difficult to act if there had been many more governments to convince of the need for the improvements. Too, the problems in the Seattle area are not as grave as they are in other parts of the country-and there is more land, water, good air and scenery left to save.

Broken Glass. Brown favors what he calls "open form" music. Last week he displayed his style at a concert at Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory of Music.

When 20 black students staged the current sit-in to dramatize their demands for greater black enrollment and a black studies program, the usually imperturbable Smith began to despair. "We have lost something precious here at Swarthmore," he said, "the feeling that force and disruptiveness are just not our way" (see EDUCATION...
...examine Ford's four circles or unrest, you will not that there are very prominent gaps in the program of the so-called "wreckers." Apparently we want to destroy for the sake of desruction, or else we want some ill-defined revolution. Since it is true that revolution is not one interest or value among others, then those of us whom he would place in the fourth circle appear to outsiders to have no definite program of interests. In this light, our concern for the interests of others is merely a ruse for the furtherance of our own revolutionary ends...
