...wonder was that Carnegie Hall was even half-filled. Few U.S. music lovers had ever heard of an English pianist with the single-note name of "Solomon." But the few who had heard him play once in Manhattan ten years ago, or had heard him since on imported records, would never have missed the chance to hear him again...
Last week Manhattan gallerygoers could see some of the irascible Italian's best work. Centered around the collection of his sketches and drawings belonging to the late Mrs. J. P. Morgan, the exhibit included some of the decorative drawings which influenced English Architect-Decorator Robert Adam.

"For three years," he says, "I suffered there, cut off from the world's affairs." After his ordination, Dr. Shipler spent a year...
Over two-thirds of the world's hams are concentrated in the U.S., but the greatest percentage increase has been in the U.S.S.R. Much of the Russian equipment comes from U.S. war surplus stocks; many Russian hams speak excellent English-which is rapidly becoming the international ham language...
