...TEMPTATIONS: WISH IT WOULD RAIN (Gordy). The five boys from Motown display a studied sophistication that might be called "hybrid Soul." They are backed up by an outfit that sounds like a cross between the Vienna Philharmonic, Herb Alpert and an electrified Gene Autry. The occasional catch in the throat and sad hoot do not a soul sound make, but the music is entirely inoffensive. Besides, the cover photograph depicting The Temptations as utterly defeated Foreign Legionnaires has to be the funniest of the year...
...Moonlighting on Patrol. Another reasonably satisfied-if weary-outfit is the 151st Long Range Patrol Group of Indiana Naional Guard paratrooper volunteers.

Along the way, they have spread a string of nine motor inns and hotels through five New England states, grown from a mom-and-sons outfit to a company employing nearly 1,000 people. Next year they expect to reach $12 million in annual sales and expand their chain to some 2,000 rooms, thus surpassing ITT-owned Sheraton Hotel Corp. as New England's biggest innkeeper...
