CRAIG HUNDLEY TRIO & ORCHESTRA (World Pacific). Here is an album that will make listeners want to throw themselves into the generation gap. At fifteen, Hundley cannot get a driver's license, but he can play the piano in stunning style. With Bassist Stuffy McKinney, 16, Drummer Gary Chase, 15, and a big band arranged by Don Sebesky and Allyn Ferguson, Hundley shows a flair for rock rhythms, displays an affection for Sonny Rollins tunes and contributes two appealing compositions...
Barnstorming through the Midwest, this unlikely trio stops for a couple of days in Bridgeville, Kans., at the home of Malcolm's aunt (Deborah Kerr).

The President himself approved the menu right down to the clair de lune dessert, a sphere of ice cream topped with a tiny American flag. Pat Nixon personally okayed the table decorations, which included gold napkins and cloths, flower centerpieces and twinkling five-pronged candelabra...
...Greene's view, conditions do not improve as man grows up. As the most famous of the trio of British literary converts (the others: Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark), Greene is a Catholic of Augustinian severity, more conscious of evil than of grace. "Human nature," he asserts, here as in his novels, "is not black and white but black and grey...
