Friday evening's Paine Hall concert offered works by four student musicians currently enrolled in Walter Piston's composition seminar: Stephen Addiss '57, John Bavicchi 4G, John Crawford 2G, and Nicholas England 1G (the letter D was somehow overlooked). All the music was written, I understand, during the present academic year...
...Tulsa courtroom, U.S. Attorney B. Hayden Crawford charged that Tulsa Tribune Reporter Nolen Bulloch, famed for his exposes of bootlegging and political corruption, had actually for nine years masterminded an underworld ring that smuggled liquor into legally dry Oklahoma (TIME, March 11). Bulloch, roared the prosecutor, was the conductor of "a streetcar named Desire-and the desire was for money." He wanted Reporter Bulloch convicted on a conspiracy charge...

...Oklahomans. among them Tulsa's police chief and police commissioner as well as Newshawk Bulloch. The mass indictment was all the more disturbing since there is no question in Tulsa of the integrity or legal skill of the prosecutor, a hard-driving U.S. district attorney named B. Hayden Crawford. Readers who flooded the paper with letters supporting Bulloch last week could only assume, as the Tribune does, that some of the liquor runners and prostitutes who testified before the grand jury may have been more anxious to quash Bulloch than bootlegging...
