...called, would take drastic action, such as abolishing the public school system. State Senator C. E. Yingling probably summed up the majority opinion when he said, "This would be the worst possible time to call a special session," and added that "this is the time to sit down, cool off, and act like human beings...

Says Marian McPartland, a first-rate jazz pianist in her own right, who for two weeks shared the bill with Mary Lou: "Just playing with her, my own playing has improved a thousand percent!"
