...said Lou Gottlieb, Ph.D., last week to an audience at Manhattan's Basin Street East, "have asked that we knock some of the polish off our act. We have succeeded beyond all dreams." This was, in a sense, true; for Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev and Glenn Yarbrough, a folksinging trio called the Limeliters, have sung and quipped their way into an expanding fortune by establishing themselves as antonyms of showbiz gloss. Their concert tours (notably with Mort Sahl) have been unvaryingly successful; their most recent LP album has been on Billboard's bestseller chart for 15 weeks; they...
...music-which is alternately light and serious, old and new-is as pleasant as an international blend of good coffees. The trio sings in half a dozen languages, from carillon French (The Monks of St. Bernard) to olive Portuguese (Curimã) to blue-book English: "It's not that she won't, young man," go the surprisingly workable lyrics of Hey Li Lee Li Lee, "it's that she has so many unresolved problems in her personality structure that it makes it very difficult for her to achieve a decision in a time of intensified emotional stress...
...medias res. If the button-down, scrubbed-looking, youthful Kingston Trio (TIME, July 11) are the undergraduates of big-time U.S. folksinging, the Limeliters are the faculty, and the chairman of the department is 37-year-old Lou Gottlieb, who in 1958 took his doctorate in musicology at the Berkeley campus of the University of California, presenting a thesis consisting of previously unpublished 15th century cyclic masses.

Austin State College and trying to peddle a book on his experiences, now lives with his mother near Jacksonville, Texas. And one of the trio's lawyers, Robert E. Hannon of Castro Valley, Calif., noted that legal costs will eat up nearly all of the pay won by the turncoats. Said Hannon: "They will receive damn little...
...Jesse Charles Johnson, director of the Atomic Energy Commission's raw materials division, went the Ambrose Monell Medal and a whopping $25,000 for directing the AEC's extraordinarily successful uranium prospecting and extraction program. Another $25,000, and congratulations from President Kennedy, went to a trio of Army civilian engineers for developing a nuclear explosive that has yet to be tested as a weapon. Robert M. Schwartz got $15,000 from the Secretary of the Army, and Milton E. Epton and Mrs. Irving Mayer, representing her late husband, got $5,000 each for the construction...
