Billy Sherrill has performed the same kind of wonders for more than 30 country-style singers, including such other stars as Johnny Duncan, Tanya Tucker and Johnny Paycheck. In all, he has more than 50 No. 1 hits to his credit. Nowadays, a week rarely passes without a couple of Sherrill-produced records among the top ten. Last week, for example, there were The Midnight Oil with Barbara Mandrell (7) and We're Gonna Hold On with George Jones and Tammy Wynette (8). Little wonder, then, that many people who once spoke of the Nashville Sound have begun referring...

Thus reassured, the couple almost manages to do the fashionable thing - only to be defeated...

Only one man in the camp remained totally calm, and that was Captain Duncan Christie-Miller of Britain's Royal Marines. The English contribution to a two-year, one-for-one exchange program, Christie-Miller spent D-day writing an article on European skiing. "I try to keep out of sight," he said. "Usually, when the press comes about, I take off my beret and insignia. Don't want to let anyone think you chaps are training British soldiers...

...Everhart is splendid in his one comic cameo as the drunken Porter. Coleridge thought this scene spurious, but it is genuine Shakespeare and inspired dramaturgy. After murdering Duncan, Macbeth hears the chilling pounding at the gate and has second thoughts: "Wake Duncan with thy knocking! I would thou couldst!" How follow such a climactic moment? Shakespeare's solution was perfect. The only comparable spot I can think of occurs in the finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, when the full chorus climaxes thrillingly with words about "standing before God," and is followed by the ludicrously syncopated sounds of a distant...
