Some old tunes are apt to sound mighty familiar when the Tommy Dorsey band goes touring this May with its new featured vocalist, Frank Sinatra Jr., 19, son of Sinatra's first marriage. Raised by his mother Nancy in Beverly Hills, Frank Jr. quietly attended local public and private schools, still plans to continue drama studies at the University of Southern California. But once he cuts loose on the songs that Daddy taught him, history may well repeat itself. During an impromptu public appearance at Disneyland last summer, one youngish matron came up to the bandstand and purred: "That...
...often come the faded flower. Our collections are blossoming out with Torbidoes instead of Titians, and the names of Bartolommeo della Gatta, Alumno de Benozzo and Cecco del Caravaggio are found on those little, unreadable labels which we persist in affixing to antique frames." University art departments are also apt to suffer from acquisitionitis-the compulsion to get something, no matter how inferior, from as many periods and schools as possible. Advises Rich: "Put the prospective acquisition next to the Goya or the Rembrandt, to see how it holds up. If it doesn't, call Railway Express at once...

As for Le Corbusier's famous concrete sunbreakers, one professor thinks that they show "a fantastically optimistic opinion of the amount of sunlight there is in Cambridge." And finally, since the asymmetrical building is wrapped around symmetrically spaced pilotis, the structural columns are apt to rise any old place in any given room. But if Harvard has its doubts as to whether the center will ever work smoothly, it does not doubt that this modest-sized building has become the most commanding structure in Cambridge...
Barclays also pays careful attention to local custom. In Africa it uses mobile vans for its white customers in off-track communities, but has learned not to use them for Africans; they get suspicious when a truck drives off with their hard-earned shillings, and are apt to raise quite a fuss. For Africans, Barclays sets up offices wherever it can, even if they are only one-room huts. Barclays has learned the necessity of accepting the smallest deposit (one chief arrived with an entire tribal retinue to deposit $1.40) and of honoring some unusual checks, including one written...
