...into Trumpeter Davis' newest recording. He plays meaner, less prettily. In Paraphernalia, Guitarist George Benson augments Davis' usual group, which consists of Pianist Herbie Hancock, Tenorman Wayne Shorter, Bassist Ron Carter, Drummer Tony Williams. In Stuff, Hancock plays an electric piano that, coupled with Williams' steady rock beat, gives an earthier, more organic undertow to the trumpet's aerial treks...
...JAZZ CRUSADERS, LIGHTHOUSE '68 (Pacific Jazz). Pride of The Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, Calif., the Crusaders have plenty to say in this album and plenty of "chops" (technique) to say it with. Their musical message lies in today's mainstream -a blend of hard-rock rhythms, funky chords and uptempo bustling.

Two weeks ago, during a heated meeting of the National Security Council, the President heard Defense Secretary Clark Clifford and then-Ambassador to the United Nations George Ball appeal for greater flexibility. Then Johnson delivered a choleric lecture against any gesture to mollify Hanoi. He argued that...
...Indian language. Now Toadsuck Ferry is gone, replaced by a bridge, and Dwight Mission lies under the waters of a reservoir. Both are victims of one of the most ambitious and controversial public-works schemes in U.S. history-the $1.2 billion Arkansas Basin Navigation Project. Formally dedicated in Little Rock last week, the project has been both praised as a plan to revolutionize the region and assailed as a silly extravagance...
