Serena comes into the Zoo on a gale one night-blown from Montana to Philly-and falls madly in love with Louis, who wakens her with "Beautiful Dreamer" on his trumpet. They return to Montana to give his father Louis's accumulated earnings (minus expenses) of $4420.78 with which to repay the music store.

By 1960, when the Gale Research Company of Detroit published the first edition of what is now called Acronyms and Initialisms Dictionary (lumping wordlike acronyms with unpronounceable abbreviations) 12,000 of both were already on the loose. This summer's third edition will list more than 80,000. Nor is English the only language to be acronymized.
