...cheerless months since jazz buffs last heard a performer as fresh and as talented as Handy. He arrives at a time when jazz's discontented Young Turks have disdainfully turned away from their audiences and gone off to explore the way-out, or, as more often happens, the way-in of their own psyches. At 33, Handy is the most reassuring evidence yet that a middle ground persists between more or less conventional modern jazz and the avantgarde...
Designer André Courrèges, by contrast, showed a collection that was more like a countdown, with models' hair cropped to the cranium, their faces often masked behind huge white plastic goggles, and a display of far-out fashions that swung down the runways to the way-in beat of progressive jazz. As befits the designer who is known as the idea man of the Paris collections, Courrèges came through with eye-poppers aplenty-flesh-colored leotards beneath embroidered net slacks, ten-gallon hats, skirts cut three inches above the knee-gimmicky, but none of them...
...Pleasant enough music can still be written within the old boundaries, but its most pleasing aspect is likely to be its very familiarity.

...Second Time Around, with Director Vincent Sherman to spur her flair for foolery, Debbie corrals a herd of yaks in what might otherwise have proved just one more way-in western. She plays a young "widder lady" from back East who arrives in Arizona, signs on as a ranch hand and runs through the tenderfoot routine-but in style. When she climbs up one side of a horse, she falls down the other. When she tries to wrangle a calf, she ends up flat on her face in the barnyard muck. When she shingles a roof, she rolls...
