Illinois, stereotyped by many as the buckle on the corn belt, in reality boasts an ethnic, economic, and political diversity which make it something of an American in miniature. Chicago, which has nearly as many Negroes as Alabama and more Poles than any city except War-saw, blends sophistication and rawness as starkly as any urban center in the East or Far West. Shady suburbs surround the "crossroads of the nation" in a long are of affluence. In mid-state, a broad swathe of black top-soil has nurtured corn and conservatism for nearly a century and a half...
Such assurances were hardly enough to allay farmers' fears, so Goldwater summoned G.O.P. leaders from eleven farm states to a secret strategy meeting at Des Moines' Municipal Airport. He listened to their views for nearly an hour. A few days later, at the National Corn-Picking Contest at Sioux Falls, S.

Fortunately, his style shines through almost every bar of such half-roasted chestnuts as Never on Sunday and I Left My Heart in San Francisco. Oldtime Ellington Saxpots Jimmy Hamilton (tenor), Johnny Hodges (alto) and Harry Carney (baritone) add to the luster. Standouts are Russell Procope's low-register clarinet solo in More and Cootie Williams' soaring trumpet work on Fly Me to the Moon. And binding it all together...
