JANIS IAN: FOR ALL THE SEASONS OF YOUR MIND (Verve Forecast). All Miss Ian needs is a touch more of faith, hope and charity-especially charity. No one is more difficult to contend with than a condescending adolescent, and 16-year-old Ian is so highly talented that her condescension is all the harder to take. Yet her talent usually wins in the end. This album contains some of her most felicitous efforts since Society's Child. Her young, flutelike voice adds just the right hue of blues to the suicidal notes of Insanity Comes Quietly to the Structured...

Crucial Issues. Not surprisingly, Viet Nam was the question on everyone's mind. Given a list of top issues, 69% said they would choose a candidate partly according to his views on the war, 55% on his ability to manage the economy and-.perhaps reflecting the credibility gap attributed to Johnson-41% on the candidate's sincerity and conviction. Since New Hampshire is largely made up of small towns in a rural setting, only 25% thought "crime and violence in the streets" was a crucial issue...
