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...
Roger Moret, Boston's hot young pitcher, picked up his 12th victory against 2 losses with relief help from Bob Bolin in the eighth inning. Tom Timmerman, 8-8, took the loss. Dave Duncan and Walt Williams accounted for the Indians' only runs with homers in the fourth and seventh innings...
Their spouses (Cynthia Harris and Andrew Duncan) are more hang-backish - or hung-uppish. But it is Lynne Lipton who precipitates the movie's sketch-sized dramatic crisis.

"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...
