...Okie from Muskogee would rather die than appear in anything unAmerican. No sweat. Huckleberry Finn contains just the role for Merle Haggard. On March 25, over ABC, he will make his dramatic debut in a TV movie of Mark Twain's classic. He will play Duke, the sweet-talking con man. His country music fans may be disappointed. "I wouldn't want to mix singin' in with the actin'," explains Merle. "That way, if I mess up, I can at least salvage something for my career...
...STORY of the vagabond was a story of other people's lives as they intersected ours. It was a story of the sadly sweet man we met in the diner just off Route 46, or the educated lifeguard at a pool in London. Or the hippie women, vacantly following in down the street late at night.

Then in the 19 February issue, we find a picture whose caption describes Ed Rossi and Randy Roth chasing a puck. Not only is there no Randy Roth in the picture, not to mention a puck, chased or otherwise, but the most obvious player in the picture, sweet-smiling Steve Janicek, isn't even mentioned. If Steve will forgive you, I'm willing also, but your already high standards would better be served by a corresponding high quality...
