BEACH BOYS--My hockey-playing surfing, hot-rodding next-door neighbor at home was just about the only person I knew really into The Beach Boys before such veneration became fashionable. You must feel sad listening to the innovative harmonizing on a song such as "Good Vibrations" if you consider how little serious critical attention this complex music received. Unfortunately, now that the Beach Boys are getting the critical attention they deserve, the group no longer seems as innovative, Brian Wilson's musical imagination no longer so unique. Their fans have grown older and want to hear the old stuff...

Hechler maintains that declarations such as National Check Your Vehicle Emission Month are plainly absurd. As far as National Family Week is concerned, Hechler snorts: "If the American family depends...
TUESDAY: NBC Reports. I remember at age 6 watching a television special on the Red Menace, produced during the dying days of the McCarthy wave and aired on the Armstrong Reports series, which led me to wonder seriously for some time whether my next-door neighbor was a functioning tool of the insidious and godless conspiracy to undermine my way of life. Tonight, NBC reports on "American Communism Today" and if you watch you may learn something about your next-door neighbor (especially if you live in Old Quincy which I understand is infested with fellow-travelers...
