...sturgeons is the chamber music produced by the famed Budapest String Quartet, world's top-ranking string ensemble. To gobble up this treat last fortnight Manhattan's hungriest musical highbrows gathered in Town Hall to hear the first concert of the New Friends of Music's annual chamber-music series...
...bells of Westminster Abbey and other London belfries. These meetings have been held every year since 1637. Even London's great plague of 1665, and the fire of 1666, failed to keep the College Youths from their appointed bongfest. Last week, at the Society's 302nd annual shindig, the "Bore War" did what fire and plague could not. This time the members did their Stedman Caters and Oxford Singles with hand bells in the upstairs room of a blacked-out London pub. Reason: open-air change-ringing might drown out air-raid sirens...
...radio days. A. T. & T. seldom has an oversupply of coast-to-coast circuits. Network men on the outside withheld judgment on TBS's prospects until they could find out: 1) whether TBS could get wire lines; 2) whether the business it had lined up would warrant an annual outlay of $800,000 to $1,000,000 for lines; 3) whether it could keep enough important stations in line to survive.

...last week, however, the Pimlico Special (a weight-for-age affair at a mile-and-three-sixteenths for three-year-olds and up) was recognized as the annual post-season race that determines the U.

Brann's three-year-old Challedon, Charles S. Howard's four-year-old Kayak II and Townsend B. Martin's four-year...
Last week when Elmer Layden's troops (three complete teams) trotted into The Bronx's Yankee Stadium for their 26th annual skirmish with Army, 78,000 spellbound spectators watched them. Most of them had never seen either West Point or South Bend, but this was their "Homecoming Game." Notre Dame rooters were proud of their team's record. In five games so far this season it had defeated Purdue, Georgia Tech, Southern Methodist, Navy, Carnegie Tech-none of them pushovers. But to Army rooters that record was just the luck of the Irish: a field goal...
