...through Canada's eight-week election campaign, Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and Liberal Leader Lester Pearson were politicians in search of an issue. The crowds turned out in numbers, but the oratory sounded as if it were from a leftover LP record, and this time the campaigners were playing the dull side. In the final stage of the campaign, just when he seemed to be running out of things to say, John Diefenbaker decided that he had found his issue...
...never seen a nightclub. Like Rusty, they all seem at home in a barnyard. They sit there and roar happily as Rusty expresses her desire to become the first woman to make love to an astronaut in space. The women fans wear Knockers Up buttons. They know her five LP albums by heart (more than 3,000,000 sold so far). They have made her a $5,000-a-week nightclub star, outdrawing Mort Sahl and Shelley Herman. After all, Rusty comes of a fine background. She is from Milton, Mass. She has a degree from the New England Conservatory...
...London satirical sheet called Private Eye snipped the passage from a tape recording of Macmillan's speech and re-recorded it, with backing from a twangy rock-'n'-roll guitar and a swinging chorus.

Among Word's releases: Ethel Waters singing religious songs for children, the choir of New York's St. John the Divine Cathedral singing Episcopal Church music.

He recently started another record club, which will feature long-play sermons by Christian leaders such as Baptist Billy Graham, Los Angeles Methodist Bishop Gerald Kennedy...
Wispy & Whispery. All the hustle and hubbub was about an LP platter called The First Family, starring a young (26) comic named Vaughn Meader, who does a frequently riotous impersonation of Jack Kennedy. Meader's intonation, rhythm and broad Bostonian accent are good enough to fool any Jacqueline. The series of skits that comprise the record also include a wonderfully wispy, whispery impersonation of Jackie herself, played by Naomi Brossart. Most of it is not wit but gags, and the gags are not all top-drawer, though they are greeted as such by one of those irritating studio audiences...
