...Croesus-rich Gerard B. Lambert (Listerine), a Johnny-come-lately to yacht racing, bought the old has-been from Cornelius Vanderbilt in 1927-and how. skippered by Charles Francis Adams, she finished second in the transatlantic race from New York to Spain the next summer...
...Elizabethan England comes a church liturgy by Byrd, full of wonderful organ effects and harmonic coloring. The secular spirit of the same age finds expression in a Morley madrigal, which has the fresh lyrical flavor one associates with Shakespeare's songs. Conventional seventeenth-century numbers are the choruses from "Croesus" and "Prinz Jodelet," by Reinhardt Keiser, but they are energetic and tuneful--and for modern ears, unusual.

...must be remembered, however, that to many Cambridge citizens, Harvard seems a vast, sprawling Croesus, living on Cambridge soil, building its towers, providing palatial quarters for its students, causing hundreds of fires, hundreds of riots and disturbances, hundreds of traffic snarls each year. In return for this it pays nothing. Or, at best, a mere $72,000 a year. It is right that it pay more, reason those at Central Square. But this picture is fallacious.
