Generous Response. Like the World Council, U.S. churches and synagogues are tending to react to the reparations demand by reviewing and enlarging their social-work programs. Thus, the American Jewish Committee rejected the "Black Manifesto" but is considering a national ad hoc group to help the poor...
...still intends to aim his show at "the young, the disaffected and the minority groups," but he has added another group: "Big business." Or, in other words, "not just the havenots, but also the haves who have something to say." Along these more practical lines, the Smotherses have also reorganized their production company. The trouble with the old company, says Tommy, is that "all our beautiful intentions didn't have a solid foundation of financial logic and production schedules behind them. We had all those long-haired creative types walking around, but none of those smart cats in brown...
...bright new combinations of established stars drawn from fragmented combos, who are jamming together in much the same way jazz musicians used to do. Early this year, for example, David Crosby (ex-Byrds) got together with Stephen Stills (ex-Buffalo Springfield) and Graham Nash (ex-Hollies) to form a group called, logically enough, Crosby, Stills & Nash.

Blind Faith's version of the old Buddy Holly tune, Well All Right, skips along with a blithe country feeling, and Clapton...
...mediums. Penderecki prefers to hear romantic music in the concert hall, but listens to Bach and Handel in the quiet and privacy of his home. As for his own music, he thinks the dramatically extroverted St. Luke Passion belongs in the auditorium because it should involve people as a group. When it comes to such works as Polymorphia and Dies Irae, Penderecki believes that they sound better on LP because they explore instrumental and vocal techniques in a new way; he does not want listeners to be diverted from the music by extraneous theatrical matters...
