...reaction to the electronic acid rock so much in vogue nowadays, many pop artists have started to simplify their sound, and are discovering the roots of their musical heritage in the process. Some have only returned to the beginnings of hard rock in the 1950s, while others have made the longer journey back to Nashville and country-western music. The Lovin' Spoonful got there first with a song called Nashville Cats. Bob Dylan followed with his famed John Wesley Harding album. And now several groups are on the trail...
MUSIC FROM BIG PINK (Capitol). The band from Big Pink (their home in West Saugerties, N.Y.) plays the best, bone-clean "white soul" anywhere. Along with their musicianship, a lack of self-indulgence plays a large part in the beauty of their sound. The singing is as loose as a hired field hand's and is exactly right on each cut.

Three weeks ago, or just before the squad reported back to Coach John Yovicsion, the Crimson, as is documented inside, seemed ready to field this fall a generally sound team, with notable strength at halfback, and a strong, all-senior defense.

Bonds, he knows, are things the bank has to buy when there is no demand for loans; they are also things the bank has to sell when there is a demand for loans and interest rates are high. Somehow or other this usually involves a loss." As for coexistence with the stock market, writes Homer, "the bond market provides...
Exhibit A: Paris in the Month of August. A salesman (Charles Aznavour) becomes a summer bachelor when his wife and children take to the shore. Along comes the predictable blonde (Susan Hampshire) to scratch his seven-year itch. Her giddy giggle soon fills the sound track like a klaxon. The two go off on a picture-postcard tour of such out-of-the-way places as the Louvre, the Champs Elysées and the Tuileries, marking this second-rate souvenir "For export only." Aznavour's tragicomic twinkle shines through in such films as Shoot the Piano Player...
