...2ND JOHN HANDY ALBUM (Columbia). The hit of last summer's jazz festival at Monterey, Handy's quintet consists of his own sax, a violin, a guitar, bass and drums-all of which contribute to a complex, light-textured cacophony that is very close to contemporary classical chamber music, especially in long pieces like his Scheme #1. Handy can also produce tongue-in-cheek rock 'n' roll like Blues for a Highstrung Guitar with both wit and warmth...

Marcos required only a few weeks to become a hero. His idea of intelligence duty was to prowl behind the Japanese lines?often in his personal Oldsmobile sedan?probing for weak spots. He found one on Bataan's Mount Natib: a Japanese military battery that was lobbing 70-mm. shells into U.S. General Jonathan Wainwright's beleaguered defenders. Marcos and three privates scouted the battery, trailing two bearded Japanese artillerymen...
