After fining Polak for court expenses, Judge Louis L. Green told him, "If you want to raise a question, why don't you see the City Solicitor?" He also said that the student could appeal the case to a higher court. Polak paid the fine and left...
...Helping Hand. Unlike most U.S. conductors, Conductor Munch will not have to worry about where the checks are coming from. Almost alone among U.S. orchestras, the Boston Symphony has never had a financial crisis and no public appeal for funds has ever been made. It sometimes matches its more than $1,000,000 of annual expenses with more than a million in income from ticket sales, broadcasting fees (last year, $117,000 from NBC) and record royalties (last year, $167,000 from RCA Victor).

The death of one and the madness of the other seem appropriate but by no means tragic ends. Much as she cares for Port, Kit makes love to his best friend and tripmate, Tunner, in a train compartment, again on a sand dune as Port lies dying. Kit and Port, with their indistinct backgrounds and motives, are largely novelist's puppets, and Tunner is a collard lightweight...
