Like Bob Dylan, Arlo owes some of his direct, throbbing guitar and vocal style to the late Woody Guthrie, which is not surprising in this case, since Arlo, 20, is the older of Woody's two sons. And as Oklahoma-born Woody's great songs voiced the common man's despair in the dusty '30s, New York-born Arlo throbs with his own generation's hang-ups. Its length has kept Alice from wide disk-jockey exposure, but Arlo's first Reprise LP is moving steadily up on the charts...
...Manhattan-bound subway train lurches on its way, long after midnight. Two by two, the passengers come aboard at successive stops: a crabby old Jewish couple, a soldier and his Oklahoma-born buddy with his left arm in a cast, two sets of middle-aged bickerers, a sad-eyed homosexual and the seedy intellectual he is unsuccessfully trying to seduce, a get-Whitey Negro and his worried wife, two love-happy hippies.

Well aware of the dangers of arguing with the ump, Oklahoma-born Mantle promptly agreed...
Technique Is Not Enough. The Ballet Theater has fallen off from its earlier, more sparkling days, but any shoddiness in its corps or weakness in the orchestra was forgotten on opening night in the performances of Erik Bruhn and Oklahoma-born Maria Tallchief. Appearing in the lead roles in Miss Julie, based on the theme of Strindberg's chilling play, they gave one of modern ballet's truly electric performances-taut, technically polished, tingling with passion. The following evening, in the more elegant climate of Swan Lake, they were equally convincing, and had critics groping for comparisons with...
