Final Farewell. Death brought Alberta Christine Williams King more public attention than she had ever received in her lifetime. A shy woman, "Mama" King, or "Bunch" as her husband affectionately called her, stayed quietly in the background, but many friends called her the hidden force behind her crusading son and husband. "She sounded no trumpets to call attention to her greatness," said the Rev. L.V. Booth of Cincinnati's Zion Baptist Church at her funeral...
...what a varied bunch they are. Corea's group, Return to Forever, favors high, light, sugary sonorities and palpitating Latin rhythms. The six-man combo Weather Report, with Shorter on sax, plays with the sweep and sonic power of a full symphony orchestra. Cobham manages to mass his colors with a big-band kind of majesty yet retain the kind of rollicking spontaneity that a Stan Kenton, say, never was able to achieve.

...runs batted in in one game and hit .630 over a seven-game stretch. As of last week, Jackson had a league-leading 13 home runs, 37 RBls and was batting .397-second in the A.L. In one win over Minnesota last week, Jackson was a one-man wild bunch, knocking in five of the A's seven runs with a homer, double and single...
