...other college in the nation, slick-shooting Sophomore Bonham, 19, would be a sure first-stringer; at second-ranked Cincinnati (season record: 10-1), he is content at the moment to be the best substitute in college basketball. The reason: there were only two seniors on last year's power-packed Bearcat squad that ran up 22 straight victories and defeated top-ranked Ohio State, 70-65, for the N.C.A.A. championship.

Some people, including myself, will tell you folk music suffers from renaissance--the trios and quartets (which shall be nameless) begin turning out corrupt, oompah versions of perfectly good folk songs; no lover of folk musics enjoys hearing the lush, superfatted, slick results. The task of separating what we like from the phony folk music becomes more difficult all the time, anyway. Here, then, is a one- sided incredibly opinionated, narrow- minded demi-survey of some current folk music records--for no-one is happier about the boom than the record companies...
