Many thanks for the mention of my opera, The Birthday of the Infanta, in your issue of May 28. The "happy returns" are already coming in with eleven performances in the offing, publication and recording. A small correction, though...
...after the last homer when delighted Pittsburgh fans raised a fuss that stopped the game cold. At 30 Long is one of the oldest Pirate regulars (average age of the regular lineup: 25). For a while it looked as if he would never make the majors. He bounced around eleven minor leagues, came up to the Pirates three times-once as a left-handed catcher-and finally caught on last year. Not all fans and sportswriters give Rickey credit for building this year's team, and they cite his rubber-ball bouncing of Long's career as evidence...
Washington Columnist Joseph Alsop flew back to his capital beat last week after eleven weeks of legwork in the Middle East. Out of his trip came a notable series of reports on the critical area where Russian diplomacy is stoking the fires of Arab nationalism against the West.

Ticknor as captain, slowly ground into shape, and William T. Gilligan and Ben S. Ogden both scored once to give '31 a 13-0 win over Exeter Academy...
...activities of both the local Harvard Club and the old grads in it have changed considerably. Of course football coaches still speak and show films at many clubs each year. In 1954-55, however, head coach Lloyd Jordan addressed exactly four full-Club meetings. Meanwhile President Pusey made eleven such appearances, Professor Robert G. Albion seven, Professor Arthur E. Sutherland and Professor Perry Miller three each, and Bart J. Bok, professor of Astronomy, took the year's honors with a grand total of fifteen speeches in Clubs as well-scattered as California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Iowa, South Carolina, and Syracuse...
