An enjoyable aspect of these first weeks of the U.S. government led by President Richard Nixon has been the anguish and indignation which some of his decisions have aroused among his loyal right-wing backers. Disappointed Southern Republicans caucus in Washington D.C., bemoan the absence of patronage, and decline an invitation to chat with the President. At the moment, the Democrats control the Congress and the President must be tactful. Until the Republicans can regain control, the right wing has little to offer Nixon unless their opposition was to become visible and vocal--and in that case he might find it most useful.

The article discusses some of the events held in New York from January 29, 1967 to February 5, 1967, under the general title of "The Angry Arts." Writers, painters, poets, dancers, musicians, actors and filmmakers took part in a weeklong protest against American policy in Vietnam. The crowd was increasingly vociferous, with shouts of "Treason!" and "Communists!" The relation between poetry and anger over the war was not very clear to the people who heard the performers of the caravan. The problem for the promoters of Angry Arts' week was to make the arts and anger a single, necessary combination.

The article presents information about the book "The Destruction of California," by Raymond F. Dasmann. The author has organized a methodical and useful survey of the despoiling of the land by careless, indifferent or greedy men since its colonization by the Spanish.

Rather, the author writes plainly, dryly, and straightforwardly about matters that are close to his professional interests. He puts the matter plainly and concisely much of California's land surface as rapidly being turned into a desert of one sort or another while many of its waters are being turned into sewers.

Natives of every Northern State have marched by armies over every Southern State, and still it is the common belief at the South that the Union soldiers were mainly Irish and Germans. The Sand-hillers, who applied to the U.S. commissary at Columbia for food to save them from starvation, addressed him respectfully as the enemy. Many a Bureau officer engaged in distributing rations has heard the Northern States referred to as those foreign States. This provincialism is minute in its subdivisions. The low-country people of South Carolina look upon the up-country people with contempt and the feeling is reciprocated with a mixture of three parts contempt and one part anger.

The trades-union outrages at Sheffield have naturally excited a great deal of indignation in England.

In this article, the author focuses on the book "Between Tears and Laughter," by Lin Yutang. The fact is that the author of this book is very, angry. Anger may, on occasion, distil more wisdom than serenity does, the author's anger is therefore no explanation of the fact that this book will add nothing to his reputation or stature. It is strident in tone, sometimes cheap in expression, full of contradictory opinions, and lacking in both nobility of spirit and significant illumination of the problems under discussion. The cause of the author's wrath is fairly clear, though not at all clearly defined.
