Classic or simply crummy, the bulk of modern English lewd literature first tumbled into print in the Paris loft of Maurice Girodias, 45, proprietor of Olympia Press.

Next month General Motors will open a $5,000,000 assembly plant outside...
...winds and percussion played extremely well, but the brasses had intonation problems, and an occasional crack. Only in some of the exposed passages of the third movement did the strings show what was probably the effect of too little practice outside of rehearsals.
