...greeting party. Crowds waved amiably-this time at a familiar figure-as K.'s limousine swept him back to Blair House. Within an hour he was showered and dressed for a reception at the Soviet embassy, then headed off to a private dinner with two dozen businessmen to sound the old brassy warning that U.S. willingness to disarm and trade would prove whether the U.S. wanted war or peace...
...Eager John is accompanied by its graceful satellite missile, the Joyful Jacqueline. The Eager John has a tendency to yaw between North and South, which appears at times to check its forward motion.

...Orchestra; RCA, 3 LPs). A resurrection of 50 previously unreleased recordings of Miller broadcasts dating from the early '40s, when the band was in its roaring prime. The selections-I Cried For You, A-Tisket A-Tasket, Sweet and Low-carry a mistily nostalgic air, the big band sound is refulgent, and the phonograph shivers to a boldly swinging beat that has all but disappeared from the modern dance orchestra...
