...After an antique dealer turned up the manzello, which approximates the soprano sax, and the stritch, which is close to an alto sax, Kirk began practicing what he had dreamed. Since then he has blown his horns all over Europe and the U.S.; he is a dauntless explorer of the frontiers of sound, a man who simply wants to play as much music as any one man can. A devotee of Brazilian Composer Villa-Lobos, the twelve-tone pioneer Arnold Schoenberg and Bassist Charlie Mingus, Kirk plays modern jazz but rejects the label.

So too, does Mr. Edward Schmookler, the villainous Sir Despard Murgatroyd (Oak apple's real brother, if you get what I mean). Schmookler is got up to resemble Mr. Hyde, and he rubs his hands, rolls his eyes, and flashes...
...Those dauntless darlings of diamond, the Boston Red Sox, will open their 1962 campaign against the Cleveland Indians at Fenway Park this afternoon. About 15,000 are expected to be in the stands when the umpire calls "Play ball" and the spine-tingling crack of horsehide against tempered ash signals the start of another season. Actually, the Bronx Barons, the New York Yankees, are probably going to win again, but it will be fun deluding ourselves for awhile...
