Nostalgia for nostalgia's sake seems to be the only plausible explanation for this show. Fifty-eight songs follow each other with breakneck rapidity, and they date from 1840 to 1938. No discernible rationale governs the choices. They range from the martial patriotism of Battle Hymn of the Republic through the blatant silliness of Rudolf Friml's Something Seems Tingle Ingleing to the Hollywood beat of Lullaby of Broadway...
...When martial law was established in the Philippines three years ago, it seemed that President Ferdinand Marcos' one-man rule was safe from any challenge.

Imelda Marcos, 46, who was elected Miss Manila in 1953, was appointed last week general manager of Manila, which was enlarged by the incorporation of its suburban towns.

That was evident in Peking recently at the Third National Games, a 17-day internal Chinese Olympics. The huge grab bag of a gala involved more than 10,000 athletes vying in dozens of events including track, rowing, shooting, martial arts and chess. During the opening ceremonies at the 80,000-seat Workers' Stadium, the Chinese practiced their flash-card magic; more than 8,000 people were pressed into service to flash poster-size cards. The result of this collective enterprise: "Ode to the Red Flag," a kaleidoscope of socialist realism scenes, beginning with the message...
