EDDIE HARRIS, PLUG ME IN (Atlantic). An electric tenor saxophone? The idea may offend jazz purists, but rock fans will get a charge out of this easygoing soul session. With capable backing from such musicians as Jimmy Owens and Joe Newman, Harris uses his extra go-power to create warmth and depth. The set gets off to a rolling, sinew-stretching start on Live Right Now, a down-home boogaloo. Harris plays with heavy-throated gentleness on the bluesy Ballad (For My Love), and with a dulcet, flowing tone on Winter Meeting. There's just a bit of metallic...
...censor will accept one line and not another is often a matter of metaphysical subtlety. Carol Burnett describes a hassle during a recent taping session for her comedy show: "I'm in a nudist colony wearing nothing but a barrel. An interviewer asks me what kind of recreation nudists have on Saturday nights...
...23rd annual General Assembly of the United Nations convened last week, and the first glasses clinked to inaugurate the world's most arduous social season. During a three-month session, each of the 125 delegations-feels obliged to throw a diplomatic party, if not several lunches and dinners as well.

Given that amount of overtime, it is perhaps merciful that the 2,000-odd diplomats assembled in the U.N. do not have...
...essentials of U.N. diplomacy remain, as Adlai Stevenson once defined them, "protocol, alcohol and Geritol," the 23rd session will likely provide more than usual amounts of vitriol. Czechoslovakia and Viet Nam offer abundant fuel for debate, even though both are absent from the 99-item agenda. But they are effectively out of the U.N.'s scope. Czechoslovakia's new representative, Zdenek Cernik, spread the word that an Assembly debate would be most unhelpful to Prague, and the Russians, who doubtless dictated Cernik's position, vociferously agreed...
...similar hangup: Carol sleeps with a "security blanket," while Pat feels lost without her own well-worn pillow. "I'm messy," says Carol, "and so is she." Don Denzin and James Sherry found companionship in a mutual appreciation of Thoreau's Walden and a joint jam session-Don on clarinet, Jim on guitar. Carol Tucker and Lynn McElroy were delighted by the matching because, as Carol explains it, "we're built the same and are both outdoorsy." That already has led to tennis-playing fun on double dates...
