...BUCK OWENS AND HIS BUCKAROOS: THE BEST OF, VOL. 2 (Starline/Capitol). This is one of the few examples of genuine bluegrass. Buck Owens figures that "all I gotta do is ac' naturally" to be the biggest star, and he's right. His flat, nasal shout relies for accompaniment on little more than electronic twangs and a passel of whooping colleagues, while he delivers the ordinary man's poetic visions: "When I first saw you, babe, you nearly made me wreck/My ole '49 Cadillac...

...greetings to a curious U.S. submarine. All he asked of the sub skipper was a slice of roast beef, but the galley was closed. For all his bold self-sufficiency, Vihlen's long journey came to a saddening landfall: though within sight of Miami, he was unable to buck the powerful northward flow of the Gulf Stream and the offshore westerly winds.

...never knew his father, who learned to play golf by hitting "horse apples" with a sawed-off broomstick in a hayfield, who labored for $30 a week as a teaching pro until-hey, presto!-he won the U.S. Open and found fame and fortune. "Well," sighs Lee Buck Trevino, 28, "I used to tell sportswriters the truth, but they would just print what they wanted to, anyway. Now if they want to say something, I just let them...
