...imitations, from Fabian, Sal Mineo, and Joey Castle to Conrad Birdie. Only the Everly Brothers can match Elvis's dual line of songs--distinct yet composed of the same ingredients--that both define the pinnacle. Don't Be Cruel, Blue Suede Shoes, and Too Much led down to Teddybear, Wear My Ring, and on to Little Sister, Return to Sender, and Devil in Disguise (one of the few masterpieces in the recently-released Elvis' Golden Records--Volume 4).

Needles in a Haystack. Last week, sitting in his Princeton, N.J. office, Dr. George Horace Gallup riffled contentedly through the answers. A big, friendly, teddybear of a man with a passion for facts & figures, Pollster Gallup has been finding needles in the U.S. haystack for the past twelve years. Other pollsters, like Elmo Roper and Archibald Crossley, have been doing it just as long. But George Gallup's four-a-week releases to 126 U.S. newspapers have made the "Gallup Poll" a household word and Gallup the Babe Ruth of the polling profession...
