a ce gen-
The E!vntliat cy is such -T-pt',pizlar whipping
boy these days that it probably
gets 7:1larned for happenings that
it r,,-! :~r even heard of.
cut,[ such occurred recently in
Japan when the American folk
singer Joan Baez made an ap-
pear a nce.
I l er music spoke for itself, of
courso,'but an interpreter was on
hand.-.'o convey her weighty mes-
sages.
As it turned out, those present
who understood both languages
reported later that the interpret-
er ch "tn' L go much beyond the
Japanese equivalent of "Thank
you, very, very much."
Miss Baez hinted that the man
was in the pay of CIA and was
purposely censoring her "mes-
sage."
Eut since this hardly seemed
worth suppressing, it seems more
likely that the little man was
simply at a loss for words.
