Corifer S e of the world's leading lomats, scholars and in P.Iernational politidal leaders are gathered in Warrenton, Va., this week -for a prestigious conference to explore the prospects for poace, development and security in Asia in the 1970's. Conference coordinator, Dr. Richard L. Walker, director of the Institute of International Studies at USC, said some 175 persons from the United States and 14 countries in the Asian and Pacific areas have been invited to attend. The select group .includes representatives of labor, business, acad.a4ca, government and 1munications media. r-Included is a 16-man delegation from Australia, headed by Harry H. Turner, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Australian Parliament. The program will include an Reve Mike Nesi By BOB CRAFT Feature Writer Whenever Mike (oops, Michael) Nesmith puts out a new album, everyone under the sun finds it necessary to mention his in volvement with the Monkees. Why should I be any different? Mike Nesmith was the tall guitarist with the wool hat and the Texas twang who was the pseudo-sane person in e group. "'he Monkees were plastic, but ' face it, any vehicle, plastic or not, that includes such names as Paul Murzursky, Iarry Tucker, Bob Rafelson, Carole King and Nicholson in its verious credits cannot be all bad. However, all of that is history now. The Monkees play every Saturday morning to a new audience of teeny hoppers and Michael Nesmith is off somewhere with a new group called the First National Band, solidifying the country roots everyone knew he had. The first evidence of the new Michael Nesmith came in an album called "Magnetic South" - RCA Victor No. ISP 4371) _that contained a single called ''JoAnne" that received some AM alast summer and fall, and eSalute" iRCA Victor No. -SP 4415). I was personally disappointed in both of these albums.__ UNITED (Hwy COLUME OPEN TO T - 9 A.M.1 MON.

AND OTHER ence to address by tf; Alexis Johnson, U.S. tinder secretary of state for political affairs. Walker, a noted China watcher, said among the purposes of the conference, which is scheduled for Thursday-Sunday (May 2023) at Airlie House, are an examination or the "Nixon Doctrine," a .discussion. of major forces and changes which will influence developments in the East Asian area during this decade, and sharing of views and perspectives among leaderslofchvarious sectors or Asian and Amaican societies. .Sponsoring the conference along with the University of South Carolina Institute of International Studies are the Airlie Institute for International Studies; the Center for Commonwealth Studies, Duke University, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington, D. C.; the nith scores Then. "Nevada Fighter" (RCA Victor No. LSP 4497) showed up. I took it home and listened to it. I was disappointed again. I com plained that all the cuts sounded alike. Then I played it again. The more I played it, the better it sounded. The group plays everything from Nesmith to Eric Clapton on this album. The cuts include, "Texas Morning" a sort of "Me and Bobby McGee" in reverse, a really unusual version of "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and Nillson's "Rainmaker". The entire first side is al NesUmith, "Grand Ennui", "Propinquity" and the title song, "Nevada Fighter" among them. The main complaint I have with this album is that Nesmith seems to be fighting his Monkee image so hard, that he has lost some of the brightness that was in such songs as "Papa Gene's Blues" and "What Am I Doin' Hanging Round?" All in all though, the album is really outstanding country-rock. 'iis is due to in large part to the pedal steel guitar of "Red" Rhodes and Nesmith's competent vocals. The album is also pressed in Dynaflex which really gives superior sound reproduction. So if you like the new wave of country rock, try Michael Nesmith.
