...emotional anti-Americans took to the streets in a dozen foreign capitals from London to Tokyo, Tel Aviv to West Berlin. At home, thousands of Americans backed "Operation Gratitude," a grass-roots effort to show support of U.S. troops in Viet Nam through all-night vigils and round-the-clock displays of lights...
...songs are from the years '64-'67, and 1966 alone is responsible for 108. The 23 records from the pre-1960 era, led by "Hound Dog" at No. 21, are songs that "belong" on such a list, and are probably not popular choices of old-timers.

...flat-out vaudeville buffoonery, but along the way it offers enough laughs to supply an entire season of canned TV comedies. The near-perfect performances of Jackson and Wallach-recreating their stage roles-are augmented by a parade of outstanding character actors. The funniest: Charles Nelson Reilly, as a clock-watching university registrar whose face is a festival of tics...
