...Conway Twittys and Bill Andersons who now dominate the industry, it is Ronstadt and other "progressive" country singers like Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris. Teaming up with Harris, Ronstadt is by now so self-assured that she can lay back and let her partner carry half the load on "The Sweetest Gift," a touchingly simple balled about a mother who visits her son in jail, with an uncontemporary message...

But meanwhile down at the Gulf Coast grain ports, loading was going on as usual. The longshoremen have in fact been kept working by court injunctions ever since their job action was announced two weeks ago, and they seem unperturbed.
