...will probably not do much more experimenting as a songwriter, nor will the Kinks drift far from their present course. Why should they? They are now more popular than ever. Ten years ago they would have had difficulty filling Jonathan Swift's; now they routinely pack Boston Garden. To say that they have sold out as artists would be ludicrous. "Artistic Integrity" is a term more often used by critics with steady incomes than by artists themselves, and if the Kinks haven't proven their artistic integrity, then nobody during the last two decades has earned the designation...
...oceangoing tug Cavalier and his crew of seven are part of a convoy of tugs and barges making the hazardous trip from the Pacific Northwest to the oilfields around Prudhoe Bay in Alaska. Once a year, for up to six weeks, the Arctic ice pack crumbles away from the Alaskan coast, giving the oil companies their only chance to transport equipment too large to be carried by airplane or truck from Anchorage, more than 600 miles to the south.

Their return should allow Ford to pack more firepower up front, providing a scoring punch that, although usually effective, was lacking last year...
...dogs to radio stations. One in Toronto that shows a 12-ft.-long airplane nose sticking out of an advertisement for Pacific Western Airlines cost $4,000, and a billboard in The Bronx that has a 23-ft-long hand pulling a cigarette out of a 12-ft.-high pack of Kent Golden Lights...
