But the composition was stuffed with enough acoustical effects to keep any Grofé fan awake and happy: a clanging cable-car bell, a foghorn, Chinese gongs and temple blocks, the clippity-clop rhythms of a hansom cab.

Stepping out of his plane into balmy weather ("My," commented Mamie Eisenhower, "this sun feels good"), Ike drove to Treasury Secretary George Humphrey's 600-acre plantation, "Milestone."
