...BABE (Atco). Riding the folk-pop wave are Sonny and Chér, a husband and wife with Siamese-twin voices that make it hard to tell who's the boy and who's the girl, and even whether one or both are singing. They muse at the quaint notions of elders, who think that people who spend their allowances before they get them won't be able to make a go of marriage...
...plain that the ban on Spain's most popular contemporary poet was completely lifted. Red Roses & Phantoms. More than that, the exhibition offers a revealing glimpse of a personal side of the poet's work. He drew guitars and mandolins, stage decors and a very plain-looking muse. He sketched the heroine of his first well-known play, Mariana Pineda, as abject as ever a young senorita could look, in a yellow gown, clutching a red rose to her breast.

Her singular achievement is that she has brought off the match without undue strain on either partner. The Hayden household in Larchmont rang to the rhythms of recited poetry. "We used to sit around the fire while she read it to us," Daughter Julie recalls. "It was mostly ballads-and Yeats and Chesterton too. She chose dramatic stuff because she believes that poetry should appeal to the emotions. Mother and Patsy would always cry at the sad parts...
