gress and had significant minor-

views about the Russians, es-
pecially in negotiations for a
new strategic arms limitation
accord.
Conservatives were drot ap-
peased by the President's de-
cision to remove Kissinger as
his advisor on national security
affairs.
They viewed it as a mere
slap on the wrist for the Secre-

to the White House post.
ANOTHER cabinet change an-
nounced by the President which
seemed to have political over-
tones, was the appointment of
Elliot Richardson, U.S. ambas-

'Octopus' blasts the
Starship into orbit'

The Teach-in turned away from
its investigation of the outside
world yesterday afternoon and
looked instead at government
control of the human mind.
Speakers warned of the dan-
gers of allowing the government
to control deviant behavior
through lobotomies, implanta-
tion of electrodes -and other
forms of behavior modification.
BLANCH COOK, Professor of
History of John Jay College
of Criminal Justice in New York
City, warned of the push by
some doctors to use psychic sur-
gery as a means of preventing
anti-social behavior-before a
person has committed any
crimes.
A statement from one advo-
cate of psychic surgery which
claimed that people who took
part in the Watts and Detroit
riots probably suffered from
brain surgery, was called "ra-
cist" by Cook.
Steve Chorover, Professor of
Psychology ,at MIT, added, "Un-
der the guise of concern for a

tists concluded problems are
rooted not in the defects of
society, but in the heads of a
faction."
CHOROVER claimed tat the
desire to remove deviants from
society in pre-Nazi Germany is
similar to the wishes of modern
scientists who seek to correct
anti-social behavior through
mind control.
Chorover said that the exter-
mination of mental patients was
eventually legalized under the
misnomer "euthenasia" adding,
"Just as surely as euthenasia
led to the killing of others, the
seeking of control over the
minds of people in prison can
result in the removal of those
not in the proper circle."
Following Chorover's histori-
cal perspective, writer William
Burroughs commented on con-
temporary mind control.
"Words are still the primary
means of control," he said.
"When there is no opposition
there is no need for control.

(Continued from Page 5)
back in his ballad-writing days
in the summer of '67.
Balin's influence hasn't been
felt so much since Surrealistic
Pillow, when he was the Air-
plane's leader and guiding light.
As the Airplane evolved, other
members of the group became
more involved with "revolution"
and science fiction concepts-
which left Balin very little op-
portunity to express himself.
Subsequently, he was one of the
first to leave the group.
BUT ON Red Octopus, he's
come back as the star of the
show; the five songs he helped,
compose are the standouts on
the LP. His lyrics are subtle
variations on the themes of lov-
ing and losing, but he does it
with such insight and feeling
that the message comes across
as essential and immediate, as
in "Miracles:"
You and I had but one heart
Only our bodies were apart
That was so easy so easy
I had a taste of the real world
When I went down on you girl
This sense that love is more
lasting and meaningful than
ever and that it keeps holding
the world together is echoed in
every other song on the record,
and it's to Balin's credit that
he was able to bring the other
group members around to his
way of thinking.
A n o t h e r nostalgic Airplane
touch is Grace Slick's incredible
"Fast Buck Freddie" and "Play
On Love" which are written in
the hard rocking style of her
very best work. She, like Marty,
throws everything she has into
a song. Both their voices have
matured enough to sustain the
exceptional efforts they're mak-

ing.
ALTHOUGH IT'S like the good
old days with Marty and Grace
in the spotlight, the Jefferson
Starship is very much in evi-
dence in the music, which has
rarely been better than with the
dynamic numbers they present
here. Papa John Creach's "Git
Fiddler" and Pete Sears' "San-
dalphon" are two excellent in-
strumentals that virtually show-
case the entire range of the
-Starship's musical capabilities.
Though Sears is indispensable
to this album, with his fine bass
and keyboard playing, it's Craig
Chaquico with his rapid and
fluid lead guitar that sets the
pace and makes the solos shine.
With a strong backup like this,
the group doesn't even miss
those other members of the orig-
inal Airplane who largely de-
fined its distinct sound.
The only disappointment on
this record, and it is minor, is
Paul Kantner's unusually small
role in the proceedings. His "I
Want To See Another World"
suffers a bit with its sci-fi over-
tones and fails to surpass his
superior songs like "Ride The
Tiger" and the title track from
Dragonfly.
This LP certainly deserves
the considerable attention and
airplay it's received and that's
a result of the group settling
down and fitting into each
other's styles and themes. It is
through such willing and able
cooperation that the Jefferson
Starship has transcended all of
its previous work and come up
with some decidedly different
and extraordinary music that
appropriately celebrates t h e
power of love and the magic it
can create.
