Former Under Secretary of State George W. Ball was the Administration's most articulate war critic when he quit Washington for Wall Street in 1966. Candidly calling himself "the devil's advocate," he persistently opposed deepening the U.S. involvement in what he terms the Vietnamese "gluepot." Far more Europe-minded than his friend Dean Rusk, Ball believes that by making Viet Nam a major battleground with the Communists, the U.S. has failed to cope adequately with De Gaulle, jeopardized any new approach to China, and let the problem of a divided Germany fester far too long...

...Calumet Farm's Forward Pass would figure to be the post-time favorite at Churchill Downs. Winner of more Derbies (seven) than any other stable, the farm that produced such champions as Citation, Whirlaway and Armed has fallen on hard times recently: not since Tim Tam carried her devil's red and blue silks to victory in the 1958 Derby has Calumet's owner, Mrs. Gene Markey, even entered a horse in the Run for the Roses. Forward Pass is a throwback to the good old days. A rangy bay with tremendous early speed, he won last...

...Everly Brothers can match Elvis's dual line of songs--distinct yet composed of the same ingredients--that both define the pinnacle. Don't Be Cruel, Blue Suede Shoes, and Too Much led down to Teddybear, Wear My Ring, and on to Little Sister, Return to Sender, and Devil in Disguise (one of the few masterpieces in the recently-released Elvis' Golden Records--Volume 4). And while some critics have proclaimed the death of this line, the King's current smash, U.S. Male, is meaner, ornier, and harder rocking than all but the most vintage Presley. The other line, less...

NEIL SEDAKA'S credentials hardly need airing. With a style closely related to Pitney's Sedaka has created a sound--from The Diary through Carol, Little Devil, Stairway to Heaven, Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen, World Through A Tear--that inevitably blends his whole work into a single medley with scarcely detectable demarcations...

...transparent: it is still Pavese speaking. His observations about women are cutting, as when a restless wife concludes: "Living is really putting up with someone else and going to bed with him, whether you feel like it or not." And it is still Pavese speaking as narrator in The Devil in the Hills. Here he returns to the Piedmontese hills, where he is confronted with the senseless incursions of vice from the cities and a rich young man drugging and drinking himself to death-all placed in a framework of nature accurately observed...
