George Benson: Bad Benson (CTI; $5.98). George Benson is in every way a superior guitarist to Beatle George Harrison, for example, or to Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. Benson's uncluttered swinging blues set guitar-playing standards that quickly made his name known to every serious jazz buff.

Says New York Republican Jacob Javits, a strong proponent of the Williams bill: "These people [the Arabs] are trying to coerce Americans into discriminating against other Americans. In other words, they are trying to subvert the very foundations of our republic." Advocates of the Williams bill say that their target...
