...SEEING IT: Attention, New Hampshire couch potatoes: Stand up and salute! Pat is gunning for second place in New Hampshire, and this patriotic, feel-good ad is designed to remind conservative voters that Pat is the candidate of 100-proof conviction, unlike the wishy-washy front runner and that rich-boy publisher who is spending his way up the opinion polls.

Several songs stand out. On the mournfully romantic ballad Laura, Hargrove takes the lead, lingering over each note of the song as if slowed by sorrow. On the nostalgic April in Paris, Scott goes solo and, through a succession of stately, undulating shifts in mood and rhythm, finds fresh, melancholy elegance in an old standard...
