FOLK BANJO STYLES (Elektra). The banjo, the only instrument native to the U.S., is becoming as much a part of the summer landscape as the mosquito. Here is a recital (Flop-Eared Mule, Nine Hundred Miles, Goodbye Old Booze) in various styles by four experts. On the sleeve, there is a written exposition for beginning listeners of plain and fancy picking: frailing, up-picking, two-finger, three-finger, and the virtuoso Scruggs style...

A few seconds later, he picks up the "glide slope" beam, which controls a pair of pointers on the plane's instrument panel. By flying...
...land when the ceiling is 100 ft. and the visibility is one-quarter mile. The hardware for this technique has already been developed, says FAA. It consists chiefly of new antennas that give more dependable localizer and glide slope beams. One of them will soon be tested on an instrument landing runway at New York's La Guardia Airport...
