...MAMAS AND THE PAPAS (Dunhill). The hottest new group of the past year consists of Contralto Cass Elliot, Tenor Denny Doherty, Soprano Michelle Phillips and her husband John Phillips, baritone and songwriter. Like their first album, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears, this one has relatively sophisticated sliding harmonies and an adjustable beat that appeals not only to kids but also to other mamas and papas.

...marry her so that she can divorce him, thereby gaining fame via scandal and fortune via alimony and blackmail. He is later a victim of a sculptress whom he commissions to create an enormous "Ritualistic Orgy of the Titans" in front of his desert home; her American Indian husband, who convinces Norman that he should raise goats for fun and profit; a mystic who receives no comprehensible messages from above; and finally a young American he picks up and who kills...

Whether her honor needed avenging was a question that was never satisfactorily answered. On that September night, as Thalia Massie was making her solitary way home afoot, she was attacked by five "Hawaiian boys," brutally beaten and-so she claimed-raped. Her body bore evidence of the beating (a jaw broken in two places), but none of sexual assault...
