It believes strongly in fiscal responsibility such as balanced budgets. It is pro-economic growth. It is concerned about the environment.

Gil Evans...in song the words tend to lose their significance, do often lose it, while at the other extreme, in current prose it is the musical value that tends to disappear - so that verse stands symmetrically, as it were, between song, on the one hand, and prose on the other - and is thus admirably and delicately balanced between the sensual and the intellectual power of language.
