...Negro Bass Player Charlie Mingus is a talented, successful and angry man-so angry, in fact, that he planned to leave for an island in the Mediterranean and never return to the U.S. Mingus changed his mind, but the anger remains. It is shared in some degree by many Negro jazz musicians, and its major cause is anti-Negro prejudice in a field that Negroes regard as their own. Its result is the regrettable kind of reverse segregation known as Crow Jim-a feeling that the white man has no civil rights when it comes to jazz...
...first time that a Russian audience had heard an American-born singer in the title role of Boris Godunov. For his passionate and athletic performance -in faultless Russian-of the tragic Czar, enormous (6 ft. 6 in.. 195 Ibs.) Metropolitan Opera Bass Jerome Mines, 40, drew a tumultuous standing ovation and six curtain calls from the opening night crowd at Moscow's Bolshoi Theater.

He argues that the voters ought to keep him in Washington because he is so young and he already has a few months' Senate seniority. Merrow, after 20 years...
...Doctor? Of the four candidates, the one that Murphy, Merrow, and even Doloris will have to beat is Perkins Bass. The Bass name is almost as big as Bridges' in New Hampshire Republican politics. Bass's grandfather helped manage Lincoln's second presidential campaign, was a pallbearer at Lincoln's funeral; his father was a New Hampshire Governor. In Bridges' terms, Perkins Bass is a liberal-he even supports a modified version of Kennedy's foreign trade program. "I feel very strongly," says he, "that Senator Murphy and Mrs. Bridges represent the point...
