Memories Are Made of This (Ray Conniff Orchestra and Chorus; Columbia). Suds and saccharin by one of the slickest arrangers in the business. Filtered through the echo chamber of the mind, Conniff's heavily percussioned memories sound like nobody else's, but they bear some familiar titles: Moments to Remember, My Foolish Heart, No Other Love...
...Senate's slickest new comedy team is the improbable combination of Democratic Liberal Hubert Humphrey and Republican Conservative Barry Goldwater, who traded off quips for a boffo hour at a recent banquet of the Women's National Press Club. Humphrey's best line: "Barry's so handsome that I understand he's been offered a movie contract-with 18th Century-Fox."

His wacky tales of life in the Italian submarine service (he learned his English by sneaking up behind U.S. warships and watching the recreation movies), of golf games in Tanganyika (the course went up the side of Kilimanjaro; he shot a 77 and four Mau Mau), were not the product of an overheated Latin imagination. He has never been nearer to Italy than the pasticcerie of Manhattan's West Side, where he grew up. Guido Panzini's real name is Pat Harrington...
