SPECIAL NOTE:  For the first time since 1963, all of the numbers 
are listed on the printed survey.  And there is a FULL Top 32 this
week!  The Ambrosia song is listed as "--" on the printed survey, 
aired as a HP. 
The distinction between the Top 14 and the remaining survey has 
been eliminated.  This happy condition (all songs on the printed  
survey given a numbered position) will continue for only the next 
eight weeks.
