...Dresden critics were not vexed that Strauss had returned to tunefulness. They have long ceased expecting any more daring and original music from the composer of Elektra and the tone-poems.

...Louis sat up late to get the first taste of its famed foam. Citizens waited in their cars outside the Busch and Falstaff breweries, only ones operating, for the first issue of 3.2%. The Busch brewery had a brass band ready to play at midnight. When midnight came, steam whistles and sirens drowned the Busch music. By afternoon, the St. Louis beer supply was woefully...
