...When the sad news about the Argylls became known, angry Scots immediately announced a drive to save the historic regiment, and one of the first men to sign their petition was the Duke of Argyll, Sir Ian Douglas Campbell, a descendant of the unit's traditional officer clan. But unless Whitehall recants-and it seldom does-the Argylls played their swan song as they piped themselves out of Aden...

...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.

ONCE Hersey had chosen the documentary format, the only controls left to him were organizing and editing the documents and interviews which he had gathered. Sad to say, his performance of these two tasks was second-rate. The continuity of the book is jerky, again a result of Hersey's almost total reliance on direct quotes to tell the story. Irrelevant details abound throughout the book, dissipating most of the interest aroused by the terror of the actual episode. In their rush to publish the book, too, Hersey and his publishers have hurt the book. A myriad of proofing errors...
