...sizzling 91° heat barely wrinkled the Prince of Wales' crisp Royal Navy whites as he arrived in Fiji to celebrate the islands' 100th anniversary of becoming a British colony and the fourth birthday of its independence. Robed officials crouched in ritualistic gestures of respect, schoolchildren lined the roads and waved, and a considerate, perhaps mischievous chieftain gave Prince Charles a bowl of kava, a very potent local brew. Later, at a reception held in Suva, Fiji's capital, a less formally attired Charles witnessed at close range still more of the island's fundamental splendors...
...Friday, 10 p.m. E.D.T.), is at least permitted to be just not-so-plain Angie, and any program that allows this attractive, good-humored actress to be her familiar self cannot be all bad. The regular supporting cast, headed by Earl Holliman, is competent, and the action sequences are crisp. There is also some attempt to put the cops in contact with interesting criminals and characterized victims...

To a diehard Fighting Irish fan tuning into the Prudential College Scoreboard, "the East" was nothing more than a boring prelude to the really important scores--usually a shellacking by a favorite topten power of some school mired in yet another rebuilding year...
...group's style as represented during the Barleycorn and Low Spark sessions. The disc's first cut, "Something New," is a good time boogie tune in which Chris Wood's horns, instead of wandering aimlessly as in the past, provide the perfect rhythm backdrop to Stevie Winwood's crisp piano playing. "Dream Gerrard" is the piece most indicative of the album's general mood. Winwood seems to place more emphasis on keyboards as opposed to guitar with the piano (both electric and conventional) figuring prominently. In addition, Winwood's experimentation with mellotron and synthesizer is highly successful. The tasteful string...
