The words went, 'I plant flowers by the hours, and every bud is a buddy of It was a crazy, ridiculous song. But there was something about it. It stayed with me for at least a week. It started kind of getting to me. Finally I got rid of it.

I hope talking about it doesn't bring it back." The capacity to hear music in one's head begins in childhood and develops with age. "Children under the age of 7 or so can't imagine the harmony with the tune," says John Feierabend, director of music education at the University of Hartford's Hartt School in West Hartord, Conn. "In fact, harmony actually interferes with their ability to remember a tune. But they can remember a simple melody just as you or I would, and sometimes they get a melody in their mind that sticks. My own children sometimes complain to me about some silly song that's going through their heads." In adults, the ability to willfully and accurately summon music in one's head is considered to be one of the important hallmarks of musical aptitude.

In a few cases, music in the head passes from being an annoyance to an affliction. Dr. Judith Rapoport, chief of child psychiatry at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, is the author of a 1989 book about obsessive-compulsive disorders called "The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing." In it, she cites several patients afflicted with complaints involving music. She writes about the case of "George," a 60-year-old farmer from Maine, who had had a simple fiddle tune in his head for 31 years. He had heard the tune as a child and it had stayed with him.

Understandably, the experience had come to detract from George's joie de vivre. Like many other patients with OCD afflictions, George was treated with medication; eventually the tune got weaker and then disappeared altogether. "Since I wrote the book, I've treated a number of other cases like this," says Rapoport. "So I can say that this is a recognized branch of OCD. But it's an extremely rare form.

There are perhaps 4 million people in the United States who suffer from some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. I would say that something less than 1 percent of them have a problem that involves music." Dr. Fred Penzel, a New York psychologist, treated a man who would become preoccupied by the bland, easy-listening music playing over the sound system in his office. "The problem was he'd hear a familiar song over the system and it would get stuck in his head to the point where he couldn't concentrate on his work," says Penzel. Ironically, of course, workplace music systems are installed for the purpose of freeing people from intrusive or distracting thoughts.

If music in the head is sometimes annoying, and occasionally disturbing, it often is also as music is supposed to be, after all strictly pleasurable. "It certainly is for me," says Ruth Matchett of Manchester, Conn. "Just walking down the street, or working around the house, there is absolutely always music in my head and I just love it. I especially like 'Singing in the Rain' and anything that's a waltz. 'Fascination' is a good one.

I love that song. The music makes you step faster and perks you."

None of this, however, is likely to hamper the book's chances of becoming a successful and entertaining movie.

Two-hour adventure movies are slavishly devoted to plot and have little time left for subtleties or character development. Those who have enjoyed Grisham's earlier works, which include A Time To Kill, should have no qualms about diving into The Chamber. It's good for a beach or an airplane or a backyard deck chair. But those new to Grisham might want to preview his earlier work at the library before investing $25 in a new hardcover. That, or wait for the movie.

tims that Hall encounters in his bid to save his grandfather's life. In the process, Hall, whose own father had fled the violence but could not escape it, learns about the Cayhall family's role in the hatred and bloodshed. The death penalty and the civil rights struggle are potential gold mines for a novelist. Too bad Grisham fumbles the opportunity to make The Chamber something more than summer adventure reading. Despite its strong plot line, the book is marred by a variety of weaknesses, including contrived dialogue, cliched characters and dead-end subplots.

Conversations about the death penalty often turn into two people lecturing each other. Government officials supporting the death penalty are portrayed as either cold functionaries or cynical opportunists. All reporters are ignorant vultures interested solely in sensationalism. Worse, the plot often seems downright deceptive. At least two significant characters set up for key roles in the novel's climax turn out to be irrelevant to the outcome.

So pages of foreshadowing are revealed as having been used to dupe the reader. There also is a strange lack of realism in the novel's descriptions. Grisham, a Mississippi resident, obviously has gone to great pains to study life in prison, on death row in particular. But when characters move to the Mississippi country- Cayhall has only four weeks left to live unless grandson Hall, who hates the death penalty as much as he does Cayhall's crimes, can devise a successful appeal. The tempo builds as the execution date approaches.

Besides exploring death-penalty issues, Grisham uses The Chamber to discuss the social conditions that existed during the height of civil rights tensions in the South. He pulls no punches on the bigotry and hate that marked that era. This aspect of the tale is recounted through flashbacks and the memories of the family members, law-enforcement agents, and vic If you have an event you'd like to have considered for "What's Going On, please mail information at least a week nr; advance to vvnats uomg un, reopie uepartment, i-ionaar Today, P.O.
