AP columnist HAL BOYLE surveys 1964 with a playful forecast.

The piece ends with a punchy note on life remaining the sole thing worth living.

UPI critic Rick Dubrow says Victor Borge's ABC special titled Victor Borge at Carnegie Hall felt overproduced and lacks his usual sophistication. A 16 member choir, pianist Leonid Hambro, and tenor Sergio Franchi tone down the act, leaving Borge's humor underused and the show lacking inspiration.
