Steaming at a cautious two knots, d'Iberville crept through the approach to the St. Lambert lock. Just astern came the icebreaker Montcalm, and after her four shoebox-shaped canalboats, veterans of the St. Lawrence's old 14-ft. waterways and sentimental favorites to head the procession of Canadian, American and foreign cargo carriers into the seaway...
...Banque Lambert, Brussels, a project designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's top designer, Gordon Bunshaft (whose Lever House was the ultimate in glass slabs), with Engineer Paul Weidlinger. Using precast, prestressed concrete with great discipline, Bunshaft has created a rhythmical façade with all the richness of an Italian palazzo...
This jabberwockian fantasy is not the handiwork of a beat generation poet, but the nightly stock in trade of the nation's slickest new vocal group-the Lambert, Hendricks and Ross trio. In Los Angeles' Crescendo Club last week, the three performers triple-tongued their way through these lines (to Everyday) and half a dozen other numbers.

Farther along, Singers Lambert and Ross took over the role of "trombones," while Hendricks as a solo "reed...
...inspiration for the trio's verbal jazz comes from Lyricist Hendricks, who nearly ten years ago heard a version of Moody's Mood for Love in which lyrics had been dubbed in for a saxophone solo. Hendricks (now 37) and Boston Jazz Veteran (41) Dave Lambert experimented with instrumental-styled vocal writing for several years, eventually teamed up with London-born Annie Ross. The three of them now sing 30 songs, many of them Basie classics, e.g., Avenue C, It's Sand, Man-heavily flavored with jazz argot...
