...vigor of these home-stand evenings are preserved on this second live recording. Fluegelist Jones does most of the arrangements and conducts the crew, which includes Baritonist Pepper Adams, Soprano Saxophonist Jerome Richardson, Pianist Roland Hanna and Bassist Richard Davis. They give Mornin' Reverend a tongue-in-cheek but toe-to-floor gospel treatment and swagger to glory on St. Louis Blues...
...conviction that the only way to persuade the Arabs to end their border violations was to hit them hard and often. The U.S. maintains that escalation by one side merely causes escalation by the other side; the Israelis retort by asking whether they are expected to turn the other cheek to guerrillas and artillery. The U.S. points out that security for Israel cannot be achieved simply by holding onto territory; the Israelis retort that before the Six-Day War they were naked to attack by Syrian gunners from the Golan Heights, by guerrillas from the West Bank, and by Egyptian...

"You'll have to hit me harder than that, dear, if the scene's going to work." So Helen Hayes took a good smash from Miss Bisset-and the scene worked. Back in Hollywood, after a 13-year absence, for the filming of Arthur Hailey's bestseller Airport, the great lady of the stage still scorns a standin. In her role as chronic stowaway...
