Malcolm Arnold: Guitar Concerto, Op. 67 (Julian Bream, guitarist, with the Melos Ensemble; RCA Victor). A haunting, fantasy-ridden score by the composer of Tarn O'Shanter and The Bridge on the River Kwai that gives the guitar a chance to sing, emote, or simply brood, as it rarely can elsewhere. Britain's Bream knows the instrument's moods as surely as any guitarist now playing...
Poll Watcher. At a total cost of $30 million, PACD has raised rice production through village-scaled irrigation projects to as high as 5,000 Ibs. per acre (nearly five times the Philippine average), re-seeded fishermen's depleted oyster beds, supplied farmers with 10,000 brood sows and helped set up barrio councils to promote self-government.

With Dick Nolan, the Giants' other safety man, Patton often stalks the deserted streets of Manhattan until dawn. But he makes a special point not to brood about any opposition receiver who got away for a touchdown. "If I could stop every pass," says the Giants' Jimmy Patton, "no one could afford to pay my salary...
...trying to climb into Newman's cummerbund tells him, "I'm crowding 19," he asks, "Years or guys?" Actress Woodward is sexily soulless as a wife who flies her scarlet letter as if it were a cocktail pennant, and tauntingly calls up her lover while Newman broods (Newman does little but brood in the film, perhaps because of overexposure to Tennessee Williams). The lover is a psychiatrist, incidentally, and therein lies a small triumph; Hollywood, mindful of protests whenever it portrays a red Indian or an Italian gangster, has at last found a villain whom everyone can hate...
