...songs played at Boston Common on August 9 have in common a pervasive country flavor, the flavor that Furay sought in leaving the Springfield for Poco. The sets that used to begin with the irrepressible rock 'n' roll feeling of "C'mon," start with the shit-kicking, finger licking goodness of "Hoe- Down," in acknowledgement of Poco's antecedents, "Well, I'm goin' to a hoe-down--And kick up my heels--Go all night and never slow down--Yes, I love how it feels." Three more songs were played in rapid succession: "It's a Good Mornin'," "Railroad Days...
...rock music made by deceptively good musicians. The most significant improvement over last year's performance is the emergence of Paul Cotton as a lead guitarist, allowing the band to stretch out some of the songs. "Keeper of the Fire," with its insistent rhythms, and the stretched out "C'mon," now closing the show, gave him a chance to show his abilities. Cotton is not Dicky Betts, or Eric Clapton, but his rock lines, though predictable, are more than adequate.

There, on seven acres of woods and meadows, Bernard Fischler opened a 62-room hotel, called Mon Club, designed exclusively for 220 children from ages three to 16. Adult guests are strictly off limits...
Unlike an American summer camp, Mon Club has no reveille or rigid schedule. Guests may rise any time between 7:30 and 9 and go to one of the two dining rooms (one for little children and one for big) to choose their breakfasts and have all the orange juice they can drink. After that there are only two compulsory activities: morning calisthenics and participating in one sport. The latter may include swimming, horseback riding, bicycling, fishing or kayaking in the nearby Petit Morin River, as well as more strenuous games such as soccer and tennis...
