...discount, Campbell stands to gain even more under CBS's summer policy, announced officially last week although it had been a CBS selling point for a year or so. Radio programs canceling for the summer usually take the chance of losing their old spot on the air come fall. NBC is still hard-boiled on this point, but CBS now permits advertisers "brief hiatuses during the summer . . . without forfeiture of time."

...from the fact that it was sung in Italian, it would doubtless have pleased hard-drinking neurotic Modeste Moussorgsky, who, when he wrote the opera in 1873, attempted to make the People the protagonist, gave the chorus a great "Revolutionary Scene," in which he planted ideas which did not come to fruit in Russia until 1917.

It is his theory (like that of James Branch Cabell) that good novels cannot be written about the present age; a writer needs "the perspective of years to know what most of it amounts to-if anything." Not because his theory is necessarily correct, but because he has written good U. S. historical romances (Drums, Long Hunt, et al.), readers will be glad that Bitter Creek returns to the past...
