...Bertha and ladies," he said, "it is always for me a special privilege to address the women of this party. First of all, for a very practical reason, they tell me there are more women in the U.S. than there are men. But secondly, I have the most deep conviction that a political party can be called such only if its whole purposes are soundly based in some moral and spiritual values. The women of this nation are more concerned in their day-to-day work, I think, than are men with these values. They have the job of rearing...

They were advised to dig deep into the heart of their beloved Texas to create subterranean truck lanes, park every arriving automobile, and turn streets within a downtown square mile into a pedestrians' paradise of shrubbery, statuary, malls, covered walks and sidewalk cafes.

A group of four women students recorded the minuet from a Haydn string quartet, singing cello, viola and violin parts. One boy has recorded his rumbles and squeaks over a range of seven octaves, a young man has produced close to nine under Wolfson...
...into the Flies. During the pianist's first selection an odd audience (of New York City Ballet dancers) entered, carrying folding chairs. There were: a deep-down music lover who listens a la Rodin, a pair of candy-sucking bobby-soxers, a long-legged young thing who practically climbed into the piano in her love of music (Ballerina Tanaquil LeClercq), a bored couple and, finally, a young fellow who trampled all the other concertgoers while trying to find his seat. At that point the Chopin medallion zoomed up into the flies and madness descended...
