Lovely Service. In Cleveland, the sect owns a string of stores with interesting names, among them "The Shabazz Kosher Market," "The Kaaba Haberdashery" and "Omar's Ice Cream Parlor." In Washington, D.C., where the movement has been active for 30 years, the Muslims own a bakery, a barber shop, a restaurant, a cleaning establishment and a printing office...
...they have formally annexed only Arab Jerusalem, but in accordance with a plan proposed by Deputy Premier Yigal Alton and secretly approved by the Cabinet four weeks ago (TIME, Feb. 7), they are settling the Golan Heights, cutting roads for new villages in the Sinai, and establishing a string of fortified settlements overlooking the Jordan River.

Indicative of his anonymity is the fact that it is virtually impossible to get his albums in the United States (though some are now being imported from England). Elmore Jones played slide guitar.

...feels it. Her sales should have encouraged all involved to believe her best course would be to continue to deal in her own way. Not so. On her latest album, "Soul '69," she is often, though not always, cramped and weakened by large and superfluous brass and string sections, not to mention a number of poorly conceived arrangements. Essentially, this seems an attempt to emulate the breadth and polish of the Motown Sound. As such, it is neither a notable success nor an unqualified disaster, and the use of percussion is, generally speaking, far better perceived and executed than...
