Having explored Beethoven pretty thoroughly (TIME, Jan. 12), record companies are turning back to Bach. The biggest new excursion into his music comes from the Haydn Society, which has recorded the complete Clavier Übung on seven excellent LPs, with Ralph Kirkpatrick playing the harpsichord and Paul Callaway the organ. The title means "Keyboard Practice," but, far from being a series of exercises, the music was designed by Bach for "spiritual enjoyment...
...Callaway Went Thataway (MGM] cheerfully spoofs a national institution-the oldtime movie cowboy, exhumed by TV, exalted on boxtops and enriched by millions of worshiping, gun-toting little fans. In fairness to Hopalong Cassidy, who dispatched deputies to a Hollywood screening to see if M-G-M had poisoned his waterhole, the studio adds a postscript to the film: "This picture was made in the spirit of fun and was meant in no way to detract from the wholesome influence, civic-mindedness and the many charitable contributions of Western idols of our American youth...

Hopalong, however, need not call the sheriff. Callaway bares its teeth only to grin, not to bite; and it provides parents with welcome comic relief from the hoofbeats that have invaded...
...College of Medicine in Omaha, Dr. Reeves served a year's internship at Southern Baptist Hospital in New Orleans, then cast about for a place to settle where he would feel at home. An advertisement in the Journal of the American Medical Association took him to Callaway, Neb., as assistant to a general practitioner. The young doctor had to make several calls in nearby Arnold, where a doctor had recently died. He liked the place, and within a few weeks moved...
