...JIM REEVES: A TOUCH OF SADNESS (RCA Victor). His records still sell as if he had not died in a plane crash four years ago. And no wonder. Reeves had an infallible touch with old-style ballads, a combination of smooth virility and naivete that inspires a secret smile of empathy in most listeners. This disk is one more of his innumerable posthumous albums, but it includes hitherto unreleased recordings of such ballads as Lonesome Waltz and Your Wedding...
...nobody will have any trouble knowing who I am." Another, Bobby K. Hayes, 37, preaches an isolationist populist program that includes such unlikely reforms as a $2.50-an-hour minimum wage and elimination of capital gains taxes. Fulbright's strongest adversary is former State Supreme Court Justice Jim Johnson, 44, an avowed segregationist whose extremism as the Dem ocratic nominee for Governor in 1966 helped make Winthrop Rockefeller Arkansas' first Republican Governor since Reconstruction.

Though the A.F.L.-C.I.O. state political-education committee has grudgingly endorsed Fulbright as a lesser evil than Jim Johnson, a Negro leader has urged union members to join Negroes and white liberals in a protest vote for Bobby K.

Communist propaganda teams twice came to the village to hold meetings, but both times they left Moffett alone. He had become too popular with the villagers to be attacked. At another village, Sergeant Jim Stensgard, 21, was told that a Communist agent was stirring up trouble at night. Forbidden to do anything about it himself, Stensgard merely observed that the villagers outnumbered the agent. Next morning the Thais grabbed the agent and clubbed him senseless with bamboo sticks...
...which was far bloodier and more basic than any fight in the vicinity of Boston. This film spills plenty of blood, but it turns the Congo's victims into plastic participants in a war that is not quite real. The commander (Rod Taylor) and the sergeant (Jim Brown) are at the head of a small band of mercenaries and Congolese troops. Their assignment is to rescue an outpost of helpless whites. Even before the battle begins, however, Brown is forced to restrain Taylor from murdering a murder-bent former Nazi officer. The prize of the battle, once...
