...than strident, the book is obviously aimed for this autumn's probable General Election, attacks pro-Nazis and the Munich settlement, adopts a stern tone only when discussing outright Fascists and Conservatives and the Tory members of the Anglo-German Fellowship. British readers, who knew the British ruling class was rich, small and solid but scarcely expected to find that most of the world of Parliament is kin, doubted that much would come of the revelations in Tory...
...Baby (Bud Freeman and the Summa Cum Laude; Bluebird). First recordings of Manhattan's newest and most exciting hot band, a cooperative group consisting of Freeman (saxophone), Peewee Russell (clarinet), Eddie Condon (guitar) and five others who permanently dance-banded together after being assembled to play for the Class of 1929's reunion in Princeton last June.

This week he adds to these a class-conscious study of history's archtraitor.
