...unlikely that the business would have taken great interest in Bok, anyhow. His voice is a warm bass baritone. His songs-some original, some traditional -are sober, a little lofty on occasion, and limited in appeal by theme as well as sound. Among Bok's prime efforts are Seal Djiril's Hymn and Peter Kagan and the Wind, a 15-minute narrative ballad about a fisherman who is, one might say, married to a fishwife: "She was a seal, you know/ Everyone knew that .../ But nobody would...
...Anyhow, self-improvement is not incompatible with sociability. Even joggers have been known to donate to the United Fund. Such matters ought also to be spread on the record-but without any intent to identify the '70s as the "civic decade." It has, unquestionably, been a confused time, neither here nor there, neither the best nor worst of times, as free of a predominant theme as of a singular direction.

...save on power for air conditioners. The Sawhill movement, intelligent for reasons besides conservation, vanished faster than a Nehru suit. The men's neckwear lobby protested, and Sawhill backed down. Well, fellas, he said, just loosen your ties. But the look he proposed was wrong anyhow. When a businessman in full regalia removes only his tie (retaining the dark shoes, the suit, the shirt buttoned at the wrists), then he looks like a sharecropper-or an executive being held by terrorists. Something is missing...
Louis B. Mayer: Another casino! One more shot at bringing back High Hollywood Provincial. What have people got against chandeliers anyhow? Chandeliers are magic, and ever since these multinational-communications and service-industry boys-that is what they want to be called now, isn't it-sold off Judy's ruby shoes from Oz, MGM has been a little short on magic...
