...SENSE OF INCOMPLETENESS dominates as I prepare to graduate from Harvard College. I feel the beginnings of a life style kicking inside me, but I don't feel I've done much living I've rejected a lot--institutions and customs I used to take for granted--but I haven't accepted much in their stead. I graduate from Harvard knowing, or thinking I know, mostly what I don't want...

Assuming that you can take the country out of a country singer, there was a lot to take out of Glen Campbell. His home town, Billstown, Ark., is about as country as you can get. The downtown section still consists of a grocery store, where Rastus Williamson sits on the feed sacks and talks to Sewell and Sissy Dabbs all day long every Saturday. Color television has come to town, though - in the form of the set that Glen gave his parents for Christmas. This week, in fact, relatives and friends will be gathered at the Campbell home to watch...
