...Bigger Brush. So that his students would not worry too much about detail and thus lose the vision of the canvas as a whole, he encouraged them to paint with a palette knife in quick, broad strokes. "Swing a bigger brush. Have enthusiasm," he said. With most students he was rarely harsh, but to a few, his Saturday morning critiques must have been a torment. Once a young woman showed him a sentimental painting of two children playing on a beach. "I'm not going to say a thing about this picture." he said icily. Then, exploding, he roared...
...Birk's department store, picked out a $25-a-week salesgirl, broad-shouldered, brunette Olympic Swimming Champion Dawn Fraser, 23. Figuring that her five world records would make her all but unbeatable in swim-conscious Australia, the party invited Dawn to carry its banner but got a polite brush-off.

Here, the carriage is erect, proud, quietly intense, with wisdom coiled inside like a spring...
...Cohn: Son of Drum Suite (RCA Victor). A sequel to the unpredictably popular Drum Suite album of several years ago. Composer-Saxophonist Cohn coaxes six drummers (on snares, cymbals, tom-toms) into a sort of illustrated seminar on the art of drumming-from brush technique to rim shots. Cohn wraps his lessons into a number of his own big-band compositions with such variety and skill that listeners can forgive a little too much tick, thump...
