...Hands on Deck (20th Century-Fox). Charles Eugene ("Pat") Boone,*a pop singer known in show business as "the apostle to the adolescents," has a face as wholesome as a glass of milk, though perhaps not quite so interesting. He does not smoke, drink or swear. Some people also say he does not sing, but then some people don't like the way Albert Schweitzer plays the organ.

Even so, the mixture makes pretty strong medicine for a society afflicted with what the author calls "acute ghettoitis...
...make sure that the remainder of the 20th century eradicates the conditions spawning such separatist movements in order to avoid the tragic consequences of similar "cargo cults." The "Messiah" who appeared to the Western Indians about 1890 also promised them an Armageddon with a postscript of a land of "milk and honey" reserved exclusively for red men, of course. The result was gunpowder, chaos and tragedy for those who tried to hurry Armageddon, and those who maintained quiet hopes must still be waiting. Spencer C. D. Jourdain...
