...HARDIN: 2 (Verve Forecast). Though some teeny-boppers would consider his topics awfully untopical, there is always a tremendous old-fashioned poignancy in Hardin's roughhewn songs. And some of them are blessed with a surprising humanism: "Ev'ry moment means so much/ When your baby's skin is there to touch/ Every moment bringing more/ That's what mother and father are for."

Only major change in Beckett's schedule, in fact, was the annual-production target, which was raised from 150,000 to 250,000. In 1963, its first full manufacturing year, Cortina production reached...
...rail cars in the buffer zone, which the U.S. itself imposed on the area to prevent incidents with China, the Vietnamese have been able to stock pile materiel in the open until it could be trucked southward at night into the hands of the Viet Cong (see cover sto ry). "Now they will have a longer run to make," observed Air Force Brigadier General J. M. Philpott, "and a new risk element...
