...Alphand has only recently turned professional. Before the war she was prominent in Paris society; she is the wife of Herve Alphand, former Treasury attaché of the Vichy Government in Washington. Her father, Rober-Raynaud, founded La Dépêche Marocaine, the first French daily newspaper in Morocco. When the Alphands arrived in the U.S. three years ago, Herve Alphand said: "In France now there are only two things to do: to work and to be silent. I have come here to work and to be silent." But he did not stay silent long. Less than...

In 1928 he commanded a Japanese training squadron which visited Annapolis, was received by President Hoover.

He always remembered Americans' birthdays, and always remembered to tell the story of the little cemetery in Japan where some shipwrecked U.S. sailors were buried, whose graves were perpetually and tenderly cared for. In 1937, with...
...publicity about the mere periphery and mechanics of music itself, which, unlike football, can't be made a universal pastime without cheapening it beyond recognition. It takes as much practice in listening to understand Beethoven as it does practice in reading to enjoy Shakespeare. It is also foolish to attach some sort of moral valuation to one kind of music, as so many people do, as if you would get an aisle seat in Heaven for listening to "good" music, and roast in Hades for fainting yourself with jazz. Tolstoi thought that all music was an invention of the devil...
