...stained-glass artist, I applaud the bravery of TIME'S writers who in the article "Stained Glass, Back and Booming" [March 13] tiptoed through the broken glass of standardized, commercialized designs to recognize several of the handful of American artists who survived the lean years and are preserving the integrity of stained-glass...
...returnees are junior stroke Cynthia Strong, fiercely competitive captain Ruth Colker (two-seat), and junior Becky Goff in the three-seat. Anne Benton, a lean and smooth freshman who sculled in Europe over the summer, will sit behind Strong at seven. A couple of veterans who took a year off from rowing, Karen Oberhauser and Nelia Worsley, will take charge of the five-seat and the bow, respectively.

Jennings also produced this album, and to him must be given credit for the lean, Austin-like sound--this is the first Hank Jr. album in which he has gotten away from Nashville's slick guitar tracks and banks of strings that work for the Ronny Milsaps of the world. Waylon's bit in all this is interesting--he has an ego you could stretch from...
