...freedom and direct emotional appeal of Mary's voice and the all-important sense of immediacy and earnestness of feeling in good folk music are muffled by unnecessary strings, bells, and percussion. One song with background orchestra does work. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", but the loveliest cut on the album is the least ornate, the ballad called "I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado."

Different Bonanza. Conservationists are generally happy with the bill. One provision allows Interior Secretary Rogers Morton to select 80 million acres of some of the loveliest land in the world for national parks, forests and wildlife refuges. For the state, the bill spells out a bonanza of a different kind. Alaska has already set aside for state development 26 million acres, including some on the North Slope.

Michael, with the loveliest, fullest, twelve-year-old Afro you'll hope to see, has the history of the group down pat: "We all started singing together after Tito started messin' with Dad's guitar and singin' with the radio. It was Tito decided we should form a group, and we did, and we practiced a lot, and then we started entering talent shows, and we won every one we entered, and then we did this benefit for the mayor...
