...years as counsel to the New York Stock Exchange, it never lost a case. Neither fact, however, moved the Stock Exchange's Acting President William McChesney Martin Jr. and the "Reform" party. Their new brooms are sweeping out the "Old Guards" of ex-President Charles R. Gay who were uncompromising toward SEC.

It does a fairly good job of trying to eat its cake and have it too: makes gay, simpering fun of itself while it strives after a light-as-thistledown charm. a snows-of-yesteryear nostalgia. Its lyrics are mock and merry-andrew, its tunes (out of such Victorian composers as Offenbach, Balfe and Gounod) softly glide and sway, recalling gaslit ballrooms, old-fashioned gardens with gazebos...
