...world cautiously took a deep breath. Unreasonable it might be, but there was hope in the air that the cold war might be transformed into a "cool truce." At least, there might be what Adenauer called last week "the beginning of an epoch of negotiations...
Some of the newest jazz styles are bouncing out of some of the oldest countries and vice versa, at least in Angel's six LPs of transoceanic combos.
