...Orchids soon wilted. They sang their two big numbers at Manhattan's Paramount Theater, but when the audience screamed for more, they could offer nothing better than a reprise of Buddy's big song. Back West on the nightclub circuit, the group sometimes outnumbered the audiences; even in Jimmy Bowen's home town of Dumas, Texas (pop. 8,500), they could not fill the town auditorium. "We didn't have a follow-up act," drawls Jimmy today, "and that ruined our careers...
...first album on Bowen's Amos label, to be released this month, may be his greatest coup yet. After years of trying, he finally managed to team Bing Crosby with a group of lank-haired backup musicians in a collection of rock and folk hits-for examples, the Beatles' Hey Jude and Judy Collins' Both Sides Now. Meantime, Amos Productions continues to expand in other directions: independent producing, recording-studio engineering and shoe repair. Shoe repair? It seems that Bowen's father had a shop in Santa Barbara that was not doing well, so Bowen bought...
From this conjecture flows a host of fascinating theories. On the ability to inhibit the sex drive, all of civilization may be based.

...indignantly. In Washington, the National Investigations Committee for Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) called a press conference to charge that the study ignored "the vast majority of reliable, unexplained UFO sighting cases." Physicist James McDonald, one of the few reputable scientists who side with the saucer buffs, insisted that the Condon group "wasted an unprecedented opportunity" to make a scientific study of the UFO problem. In UFOs? Yes!, a rambling book published to coincide with the release of the Condon report, a psychologist* who was fired from the Colorado team bitterly attacked his former colleagues, their motives and their methods...
...several classic UFO sightings and incidents. Some believers, for example, are certain that saucers come from a planet named Clarion that is always on the opposite side of the sun from the earth and always hidden from terrestrial viewers. With calculations made by U.S. Naval Observatory scientists, the Condon group was able to show that variations in the orbital path of Clarion would soon make it visible from earth. Besides, Clarion's gravity would affect the motion of Venus. Since Clarion has not been seen, and the orbit of Venus shows no signs of mysterious perturbations, the scientists concluded...
