...larynx, the lilting dash into a phrase and the heartbroken sigh as it ends. Today, some of it sounds laughable, but Songstress Etting's languorous sweetness and warmth make most of it sound just fine. Songs range from the razzmatazz rhythms of Shaking the Blues Away and At Sundown to the seductive Mean to Me and I'll Never Be the Same. Columbia has also released songs from the sound track of the Etting film, with Doris Day warbling the lead role. It is replete-in fact it is gorged-with soaring strings, a chorus of vocalizing angels...
...Arabia I saw many slaves of my race. There are slave markets in all the big towns there. The slave traffic starts at sundown. The big chiefs examine us and select those they want, just like at a camel fair. You can buy a man like me for a pinch of gold." Ex-Slave Awad El Goud is only one of many French African Moslems who have been kidnaped into slavery as pilgrims to Mecca.

These shows are not bad in themselves-but they offer a cloud no bigger than a TV screen on the Sunday horizon. The increase in their numbers means that network program directors have discovered that Sunday can be a pretty good thing after all. In this frame of mind, they could spoil everything by making Sunday an everyday affair...
...Last week 22 delegates from eleven tribes wound up their four-day annual meeting with the traditional peyote ceremony. Into a large, canvas-covered tepee near the home of Howard Poweshiek, leader of the church on the reservation in Iowa, the Indians stepped quietly in single file. It was sundown. Dressed mostly in jeans or slacks and open shirts, the men sat cross-legged on the bare earth, facing a fire. Each helped himself to the peyote buttons that were passed around, and from time to time someone lit up a ceremonial cigarette (Bull Durham tobacco and corn husks). Until...
