ANDY WILLIAMS' DEAR HEART (Colum bia) Williams covers some of the same ground as Sinatra and gets even more choked up over Dear Heart. Williams albums sound as though they revolve at about 23 r.p.m., but that smooth deep voice, trained on hymns and awash with loving sympathy, never falters...
...suave, smooth Souvanna is far from panicky. Sucking his pipe, he steps gingerly through the subtle maze of Laotian politics, playing the delicate game of nods, winks and selective handshakes.

At dinner, Moreau arranges a tryst with one of Harrison's subordinates (Edmund Purdom), masking her passion with some sprightly table talk about the anchovy sauce served on British trains. Next day, while Harrison's horse wins the Gold...
