To save their employees' face, publishers give out biannual bonuses amounting to some 40% of salaries, automatically move their best reporters into administrative jobs at around 35.

Johnny has abandoned his ambition to be a pure jazz singer ("not profitable"), has carefully cultivated the delicate art of wooing local disk jockeys. So far, he has been seasoning himself in small clubs, avoiding the gaudier barns on the theory that "I haven't yet got the ability of a Lena Home to take a thousand people and bring them down to the size of a fist...
