There is a Tuesday morning prayer breakfast, which just last week heard Senator Lawton Chiles talk about Solomon's request to the Lord to give him a heart capable of listening to the people, of discerning right from wrong. About 20 people attended, including Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz. Now and then, men from the White House protective service, including policemen and Secret Service agents, have a prayer meeting. There also is a young women's group that with some regularity meets to study and discuss the Scriptures...
...Never put off till tomorrow," exhorted Lord Chesterfield in 1749, "what you can do today." That the elegant earl never got around to marrying his son's mother and had a bad habit of keeping worthies like Dr. Johnson cooling their heels for hours in an anteroom attests to the fact that even the most well-intentioned men have been postponers ever. Quintus Fabius Maximus, one of the great Roman generals, was dubbed "Cunctator " (Delayer) for putting off battle until the last possible vinum break. Moses pleaded a speech defect to rationalize his reluctance to deliver Jehovah...
...EARL WILSON, 67, has been equaling Lyons' prodigious output a few pages away in the same New York Post for more than 30 years. Wilson's 1,000-word column, "It Happened Last Night," appears six days a week and is now syndicated in nearly 200 newspapers. Wilson treads his ex-stable mate's old path around Manhattan and keeps the same strenuous hours. The fruit of all that effort-a dollop of show business shoptalk and a few bon mots from the stars, wrapped around a demi-cheesecake photo of some starlet-may not always seem...
...EARL SCRUGGS and his boys were at the Performance Center last week in what has to be one of the real high points of the P.C.'s career so far. John Lincoln Wright and the Sourmash Boys, who have been there several times before, came on first and under their strange assemblage of hats--ten-gallon, cowboy, Clyde Barrow--played their set surely and professionally. But somehow, it seemed like a Cambridgey re-write of basic blue-grass, even without the smooth easy transitions and just damn inspired playing of the Scruggs for contrast. There's something a bit flat...
...Earl Scruggs Revue also play rock-electrified blue- grass, but they keep the heart in it, they use the new stuff to bring the heart out more. You have to be amazed at Earl's adaptability: from being a plain Carolina picker he came to see the inevitable musical future, and made it work. The contrast and the harmony between the different elements of the music are standing right there on the stage: Earl in the middle, dark, carefully combed hair looking a bit sheepish for covering his ears, face full of a quiet pride and the air of hanging...
