Where will the money come from? The editors are not saying-possibly because they don't yet know. Critic Edmund Wilson, who contributed a sprightly three-page interview with himself in issue No. 2, speculated that the angel might be "one of those Baltic barons" who married a rich American and, now that she has died and left him all her money, "doesn't know what to do with it."

When Conductor Howard Mitchell suggested the free spring concerts eight years ago, Mrs. May excused herself from the board meeting, called her financial adviser and was back in a minute with the announcement that she would underwrite the concerts singlehanded. "I had just divorced the ambassador (onetime Ambassador to Moscow Joseph E. Davies)," she recalls blithely...
