...Saltonstall quintet, playing an agreeable, recognizable brand of jazz, contributed the slickest set of the evening. It's easy to see why Sadao Watanbe, the quintet's altoist, wins all the jazz polls in Japan; few foreigners can handle an alto sax with as much feeling and expertise as he can. He has great emotional range. On Davs of Wine and Roses, his tone was liquid, and smooth as marble; on Miles Davis' So What, he spat and screamed in a breathtaking solo. Watanbe (who is really good enough to play with anyone) had excellent support: the melodic, unpretentious piano...
...years ago, in Rowe, Mass, (pop. 260), a one-store mountain town on the Deerfield River not far from the old Mohawk Trail, they put up a brand-new nuclear reactor that turned out to be one of the U.S.'s largest. Owned by the Yankee Atomic Electric Co., a combine of a dozen New England utility firms, the reactor is worth $57 million; last year it hummed out more than a billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. It is by far Rowe's biggest industry, and Postmaster Wendell Bjork-who owns the town's general store-estimates...

The Ivory Coast's President Felix Houphouet-Boigny has perhaps the easiest solution to the problem: since the Ivoriens have no enemies to fight, he has simply taken their guns away. Even the cops in Abidjan carry nothing more deadly than cigarettes and money in their holsters...
...waitress in Birmingham called out the colored cook to wait on us. The waitress in Anniston let us wait through the fifteen minute rest stop. The waitress in Columbus, Miss. spilled cream all over my brand new overalls. We expected a good whipping or at least a week in jail in war-like Winona, Miss., but they had replaced the cafeteria with vending machines. An ancient, bespectacled colonel offered me a quarter for my front seat as we approached Winona. I declined and he returned to the back of the bus. Jackson, Miss...
Objections to Christian Belief is a brand-new volume of theological essays -written not, as the title suggests, by ardent atheists but by four devout Anglicans, three of them priests. They are among the dozen or so English academic divines known as the Cambridge Theologians, who today are producing some of the world's most provocative and searching studies of religious issues...
