...vegetable-calm existence of a chain grocery store a housewife's dissatisfaction with her cantaloupes may be considered a major misfortune. Last week in Cleveland organized Labor gave the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co.'s 300 stores a taste of real trouble. Unions began picketing the company's warehouses. Trucks hauling merchandise from warehouse to store were halted. "Flying squadrons" rolled from one red-fronted store to another, growling "close up or we'll come back and close you." A few plate-glass windows got cracked. Meat Cutters', Bakers' and Retail Clerks' & Managers...

On Symphony Hall stage the players tuned to the oboe's A, while Brahmins found their places. All stood when Koussevitzky entered, made his calm & studied bow. When the first piece was over he did an unaccustomed thing. He grinned. To open the Boston Symphony's 54th season Koussevitzky had chosen a rich, compact passacaglia which he had written himself.
