...Western civilization's sole enduring monuments would be "the asphalt road and a thousand lost golf balls." Not if Bart Leiper of Gatlinburg, Tenn. has his way. Leiper, a drumbeater for the local Chamber of Commerce, needed a gimmick to promote the opening of Gatlinburg's new Pigeon Forge golf course and hit on a surefire teaser: atomic golf balls.

Those who remember the sexy serenity with which Ruth Etting handled such numbers as the title song, Everybody Loves My Baby, At Sundown, and It All Depends on You, may find Doris Day's characterization of the star both too pallid and too girl-next-door.
