Though Marines are traditionally content not to reason why, he has waded at least knee deep into the murky bayous of strategic thought; he is the first Marine to sit (although only in an advisory capacity) in the sacrosanct halls of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...
Walter Winchell did not present a problem when Emily Post began piloting Americans along the winding bayous of gracious living, and the proper adjustments of falsies was not a matter of social import.

What Panassie and his "purist" cronies fail to understand is that hot music was born, nursed and grown to manhood, struggling all the time against a frigid environment, and that its whole course of development has been and will be largely a result of this environment...
