...famed Grand Ole Opry radio show still frowns on the use of any instrument other than a fiddle or guitar on its stage. The unsentimental recordmakers, on the other hand, argue that whatever the instrumentation, the essence of C. & W. has been retained in what they like to call the "Nashville Sound." As nearly as anybody can define it, the Sound is the byproduct of musical illiteracy. "In New York and Los Ange-les," says Columbia Records' Don Law, "they let their sound become stereotyped.

Nothing like it had happened since Martin Luther called the Roman Catholic Church "the Devil's nest" and a "den of thieves." The Most Rev. Geoffrey Francis Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury and primate of the Church of England, announced last week that on his way home from a tour of the Middle East he intends to stop off in Rome and pay a courtesy call on Pope John XXIII...

Heenan of Liverpool, a member of the forthcoming Ecumenical Council's Secretariat for Christian Unity, reported that Pope John...
...this is rarely the case. Preparing for Wagon, as Singer David Brooks recalls it, Lerner played a record of Ghost Riders in the Sky for Fritz over and over again, then Loewe sent one more ghost into the air and a far better one by writing his superb They Call the Wind Maria. "I never try to write a hit song." he says. "If you do, it is always silly, or Irving Berlin...
