...There's something in you that craves expression, and it must come out," said Illinois Republican Senator Everett Dirksen, 71, explaining his late blooming career as a Capitol Records star. The Senator's first two LP exercises in throbbing recitative, Gallant Men and Man Is Not Alone, have sold 600,000 copies, and he has now finished cutting a third, in which he intones such golden oldies as A Visit from St. Nicholas and Silent Night while a 22-man orchestra and ten-man choir make moan in the background. As for that craving, it often finds outlet...
...Wissotzky & Co. of Tel Aviv, its own brew was a major weapon in the war against the Arabs. Or so it would seem from post-victory advertisements that the tea company has been running in Israeli newspapers.

"In evaluating the enemy strategy, it is evident to me that he believes our Achilles heel is our resolve," said Westmoreland. "Your continued strong support is vital to the success...
Yeomen was no less exciting dramatically than it was musically. Randall Darwell's set is a gallant attempt at reproducing the grim masonry of the Tower of London. Steve Michales' direction was excellent, although at times a questionable rendering of Yeomen the way Gilbert had intended it. The G&S Players have a tradition of making the plays funnies and livelier than the recordings would indicate, sometimes funnier than they are. Michales' conception tended toward the slapstick and away from the sentimental element -- which, let's face it, is there...
