Last years, St. John's finished the seasoa with a 23-6 record and an invitation to play in the NCAA tourney. Captain Joe De Pre. who scored 16.1 points per game, and Ralph Abraham, who led the team in rebounding, are returnees from that team...
...from the phallic to the cenotaphic argues a change for the worse. Dirigibilis mutabilis! The new album contains two of their best songs, two of their clearest failures, a delight in light parody, and an explicit and jocular exhibitionism, verging at times toward crudity, only suggested in the earlier record. This last element is most apparent in the lurid copulative jactitation of "Whole Lotta Love." This very involved song, with its assemblage of background sounds of connubial exertion, reminds one (very hazily) of Southev's lines on the waterfall of Lodore (execrable lines but probably undeserving of such context...
...Flash, the guitars driving. Jagger stretching out the syllables, howling notes much like the old Bob Dylan. At the end he cries, 'Are you having a good time?' The bad guy trying to please. Then Carol, bop-bop-bop-bop, a great oldie, good times at the record hop all over again. Jagger leaps about the stage, smirking, jerking, prancing, shooting pelvic thrusts straight at the crowd...
Fictional Rate. That pressure last week brought a further rise in interest rates from their already towering levels. High-grade utility bonds were offered in Wall Street at a record 8.9% yield. William F. Butler, vice-president of the Chase Manhattan Bank, says that banks are refraining from raising their 81% prime rate on business loans only because they fear "the wrath of Congress." The prime rate is an increasingly unreliable guide to borrowing costs anyway. Growing numbers of borrowers pay as much as 10.6% interest on loans officially made at the prime rate, because banks are strictly enforcing...
Scrapping Flights. Halaby may need all his charm and brilliance to right Pan Am, which has just posted a record nine-month loss of $4,500,000, compared with earnings of $39,500,000 for the same period last year. On the lucrative North Atlantic run, globe-girdling Pan Am has been nosed out of first place by rival TWA. Pacific routes that once were Pan Am's alone are now aswarm with competitors. To cut its losses, Pan Am has scrapped 23 unprofitable flights in the Pacific and announced layoffs of 450 pilots and flight engineers. Said Halaby...
