Unlike conventional balls, which have gelatinous centers encased in hard rubber, various layers of rubber windings and dimpled hides of balata rubber, the new balls are uniform in structure. Molded from a mixture of plastic and rubber, they are immune to the kind of slice that can cut ordinary balls to the core. Priced from $6 to $15 a dozen, about the same as standard balls, they are sold at sporting-goods counters, in department stores and at driving ranges.

Anyone who remembers Arlo Guthrie's rambling, hilarious talking-blues record of a couple of seasons back will probably be surprised by this movie version. All the favorite, funny episodes are still there: the garbage dumping after Thanksgiving dinner, the cops investigating "the scene of the crime" and taking "twenty-seven 8-by-10, colored glossy photographs with circles and arrows," and the Army induction with its "injections, inspections, detections, neglections."
