Most indignant of all were some 350 labor leaders of the AFL-CIO, who met in a Washington summit to hammer out their own economic plan. In a characteristically colorful diatribe, AFL-CIO President George Meany called the President's program "disastrous, the weirdest one I have ever seen." He drew the loudest applause when he attacked the oil-producing Arab nations along with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. "Kissinger had a new quotation for the history books: 'Pay.' And pay we did, and we will continue to pay until the U.S. deals with the blackmailers...

Mahavishnu Orchestra, with Loggins and Messima. This is the weirdest double bill since Soft Machine and Cat Mother and the All Night Newsboys backed Jimi Hendrix in '69.

And cut everybody except Smokey. October 27th at the AQUARIUS. 7 and 10 p.m. Tickets...
