...gathering darkness, the early arrivals among the audience locked arms in front of a large truck, defiantly burst into the chorus of the old radical marching song, We Shall Not Be Moved. Suddenly chunks of a wooden fence railing sailed into the ranks of the defenders. Hurling stones and brandishing clubs, the veterans charged...
...easy. The program notes warned that "the title 'symphony' can only be broadly intended." There was little pure instrumental writing: the "symphony" was more a song cycle of 14 poems, from Spenser and Milton to W. H. Auden, to be sung by soloists and choruses, in various combinations and with a full orchestra.

By using five television cameras (instead of the two or three used on most TV shows), Olsen & Johnson think they will be able to get the visual intimacy...
...though it might turn into a bigger hit. The tune was less catchy, but Leslie Records' Brooklyn Dodgers Jump was already in its second pressing of 25,000 copies. Reason: three Dodgers, Pitchers Ralph Branca and Erv Palica and Outfielder Carl Furillo, backed by an Ebbets Field chorus, were the recording artists...
