That was 40 years ago (the anniversary was solemnly celebrated last week in a special broadcast by Britain's BBC), and since then the worldly fortunes of jazzmen have become firmly glued to records. Now, with the flood of jazz disks higher than ever, record companies are taking a nostalgic second look at some of their earlier artists. Among the more impressive results: the Jazztone Society's ten-disk collection, Styles of Jazz, including that original recording of Livery Stable Blues, a fast and vastly exuberant piece in a weak-and-strong two-beat, with barnyard sounds reproduced...

Refitted Policy. Though Seaton, like McKay, holds to the Eisenhower concept of private-public partnership in river development, he takes a broader view of what can be accomplished.

Slowly the boycott took permanent shape. More than 200 volunteers offered the use of their cars; nearly 100 pickup stations were established. Church and mass-meeting collections kept the Montgomery Improvement Association alive at first; then donations began to flood in from across the U.S. and from as far away as Tokyo. By the end of last year the M.I.A. had spent an estimated $225,000. At every turn King outgeneraled Montgomery's white officials. Example: the officials went to court to have the M.I.A.'s assets frozen, but King had the funds scattered around...
