NANCY WILSON: LUSH LIFE (Capitol). This is a great record to play at a cocktail party while talking to someone fascinating about the troubles of being in love. Nancy Wilson has an intrinsic musicality that injects life into essentially bloodless songs like Midnight Sun and You've Changed, an asset that makes the record as listenable as it is unimportant...
...beauty parlors. Figuratively, and in some cases literally, they are. Manhattan's Hair Design Associates, on St. Mark's Place, caters to both men and women, although once the clients have been swaddled up to their necks in hair cloths it is sometimes difficult to tell.

With the aid of Rockefeller Foundation funds, Hodges and other scientists from the University of Arizona and from Mexico's University of Sonora have designed and built an integrated, diesel-electric-based system that supplies electrical power, makes sea water drinkable, and contributes to lush vegetable growth near the small (pop. 5,000), arid fishing town of Puerto Penasco. Heart of the system is a 60-kw. Caterpillar diesel generator. But unlike other diesel-powered systems, in which about two-thirds of the fuel energy is wasted as heat, the Mexican installation feeds its hot exhaust gases and heated...
...production is chiefly of interest to students of scenic design. John Braden's lush imagination has ushered forth a superb French rococco doctor's office and an oversize roadster, whose potboiling sound effects drown out many of the lines in the first act. Of course, Mr. Braden is often putting on a show of his own, but in the desolate land of witless farce, the set designer is king...
