...Your statement that My Geisha is a "byproduct of one of Hollywood's oddest marriages" is obviously a byproduct (by which I mean illegitimate offspring) of odd reporting and tasteless editing. Two years of time, effort, near heartbreak and $2,000,000 devoted to My Geisha does not add up to a byproduct. If all marriages in Hollywood or on Park Avenue or Main Street, U.S.A.-were as soundly based on honesty, hard work and understanding as Shirley MacLaine's and mine, there would be far fewer divorces for you to record...

But uranium is now a glut on world markets; with the expected development of a new, cheap German method of getting fissionable material by centrifuge (TIME, Oct. 24), the cost of a nuclear blast can be scaled down to the poor nation's level. Says Physicist Herman Kahn: "With...

The unsentimental recordmakers, on the other hand, argue that whatever the instrumentation, the essence of C. & W. has been retained in what they like to call the "Nashville Sound." As nearly as anybody can define it, the Sound is the byproduct of musical illiteracy. "In New York and Los Ange-les," says Columbia Records' Don Law, "they let their sound become stereotyped. They write down their arrangements and even read and play the notes." Nashville enjoys the advantage of having a supply of singer-composers on the spot, most of whom...
